Press Release 30 June 2021 Mitie wins new contract with East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust Mitie has won a seven and a half-year contract to deliver services for Lister Hospital and Hertford County Hospital, two of East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust’s hospitalsThe contract is worth £4 million a year and will see over 200 Mitie employees delivering cleaning services for the two hospitals Mitie has won a new seven and a half-year contract to deliver services for Lister Hospital and Hertford County Hospital, two of East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust’s hospitals. The contract is worth £4 million a year and has the option to extend for up to two and a half years. The contract will see Mitie colleagues delivering cleaning services for the two hospitals, as well as portering services for Hertford County Hospital. This new contract adds to Mitie’s winning streak, having announced earlier this year that it secured facilities management and catering contracts with three other NHS Trusts in England. Technology will be central to the contract, with Mitie rolling-out sensors to monitor footfall across the hospitals’ public spaces, including reception areas and entrances, in real time. This data will help Mitie identify spaces that are being used most frequently and therefore should be prioritised for cleaning, helping keep hospital employees and patients safe. Mitie will also introduce a new autonomous scrubber-drier robot to keep the Hospitals’ floors spick and span whilst allowing cleaning colleagues to focus on key tasks, such as disinfecting touch points and other critical areas. With sustainability a priority, the robot has been designed to use less energy and water than traditional machines, allowing Mitie to help the NHS achieve its goal of becoming net zero by 2040. As part of the contract, Mitie will provide the Trusts’ site managers with access to its real-time reporting platform. As well as being linked to the real-time footfall sensors, the Trust will have access to a range of information about the work carried out across the hospitals, including insights on areas earmarked for priority cleaning. Over 200 Mitie employees will deliver cleaning and portering services for Lister Hospital and Hertford County Hospital. For this contract, Mitie and East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust have committed to uplift all Mitie frontline colleagues to at least the Real Living Wage. Alice Woodwark, Managing Director, Communities, Mitie, said: “We’re very pleased have been chosen to deliver cleaning services for Lister Hospital and Hertford County Hospital, kicking-off our partnership with East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust. We look forward to using our healthcare cleaning expertise, alongside our technology and sustainability experience, to help keep hospital staff and patients safe, while contributing to the NHS commitment to reach net zero.” Kevin Howell, Director, Estates and Facilities, East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, said: “Clean, and well-maintained facilities are essential in an acute hospital. We’re looking forward to working with the Mitie team at Lister Hospital, and Hertford County Hospital to ensure safe, clean sites for our patients, staff and visitors.” Read next Press Release 3 October 2022 Mitie hits all annual ESG targets putting it on track to meet 2025 goals 2022 ESG report released detailing how Mitie hit all 13 ESG targets for the year, putting Mitie on track to meet its overall 2025 ESG goals Environmental highlights include saving customers 375,000 tonnes of… Read More Press Release 27 September 2022 Broadcaster extends facilities management contract with Mitie The BBC has extended its facilities management contract with Mitie for a further two years 780 colleagues work on the contract, delivering a range of integrated FM services for the broadcaster’s sites including its… Read More Press Release 12 May 2022 Andy Burnham unveils Mitie’s new northern technology hub Mitie has unveiled its new Technical Services Operations Centre (TSOC) in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, showcasing its cutting-edge workplace technology Officially opened by Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, the TSOC is Mitie’s new Hub… Read More Press Release 28 April 2022 Mitie showcases latest innovation with the launch of its Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence • Mitie has launched its new Cleaning and Hygiene Centre of Excellence, to showcase the latest innovation in cleaning science and technology• Made up of six Zones, the new Centre in Birmingham demonstrates best… Read More See Resource Archive
