Multimillion-pound West Mids contract awarded
A four-year contract with the West Midlands Construction Framework valued at up to £350m has been secured by outsourcing giant Mitie.
The contract covers minor works and maintenance with the possibility of a further extension.
Current works include reactive and planned repair and maintenance to all non-housing council-owned buildings, primarily in the Birmingham City Council south area.
As part of the framework, Bristol-headquartered Mitie will be eligible to work with up to 13 other local authorities within the West Midlands.
Councillor Randal Brew, the city council's cabinet member for finance, said: "We've worked with Mitie for over 15 years and are delighted to continue our partnership as part of this larger framework agreement.
"We were looking for a company who could not only provide a great service, but also provide real value for money and invest in the local area. Mitie has a proven track record to deliver on all these counts. I'm sure they will be a key player in the new framework in the months and years ahead."
