Government

We’re proud to be playing a crucial role in helping to keep government and public sector facilities operating efficiently, providing essential services for civil servants to thrive.

Full range of services to fit your needs

In serving the government sector, our facilities services are crucial in aligning to the agendas and priorities inherent to public service. Government entities are tasked with upholding standards that reflect societal needs and values, including sustainability, public safety, and efficient use of resources. Our approach to facilities management in this sector is rooted in these principles. 

We’re part of the Crown Commercial Services Facilities Management Marketplace framework, which is mandated for use across central government and open to all public sector organisations in the UK and Northern Ireland. Our multi-skilled teams are experienced at working in highly regulated industries and high-security locations. We are trusted to look after high-profile sites and operate in complex and sensitive public sector environments.

Our mission’s BEST strategy and ethos addresses five areas of concern highlighted by industry leaders in reference to facilities management: Experiences, Productivity, Practices, Resilience and Outcomes.

Our Mission & Best Strategy

  • The experiences of governmental bodies and institutions set the tone for the experiences of the public they serve. Our services provide your colleagues and the public with the best experiences that set the stage for community-building and impactful leadership.

  • The public sector serves local, national, and often international communities in various ways, experiencing high traffic and footfall at some of its facilities. We understand the need for sustained productivity within the public sector, and with our technology and people, we are poised to provide you with the smartest productivity solutions.

  • Our safety-first approach, entrenched in our Code of Conduct and QHSE policies, guides our manner of operating. By prioritising the safety of your colleagues, communities, customers, and the environment, we create the best possible practices that help foster empathetic, secure, and impactful working cultures within your institutions and facilities.

  • Whether your building is a new construction or an old site with significant historical value, we strive to understand the unique needs of your facility. We apply a comprehensive approach to sustain and maintain it, ensuring its durability for generations of future leaders.

  • Aligning with the visions of the public sector inherently means aligning with the far-reaching goals of a community or country. We answer this call with a tested combination of our technology, practices, and colleagues, all ready to work with you to achieve the best outcomes for the public you serve.
