Interserve lands £80m Magnox FM deal

2 Apr 13 Interserve has won a three-year facilities management contract with Magnox, the company responsible for operating 10 of the UK's nuclear power stations.

The contract is valued at more than £80m and includes an option to extend for a further three years.

This is the first time that Magnox has chosen to outsource all of its facilities management requirements to a single supplier under one contract agreement.

Interserve will deliver a full range of services including mechanical and engineering maintenance, catering, cleaning, office services, grounds maintenance and civil works.

The contract, which starts in April, includes 10 sites throughout the UK, and supports over 4,000 Magnox employees and contractors.

The Magnox sites are at various stages of their lifecycles, from Wylfa on Anglesey which is still generating electricity to Bradwell in Essex and Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd which are at an advanced stage in the decommissioning process.  Magnox operates the sites on behalf of their owner, the UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

Guy Bruce, managing director - industrial at Interserve, said: "We have over 65 years' experience delivering large-scale, safety critical projects on a variety of nuclear sites across the country. The wide range of services we deliver means we fully understand the nuclear industry's required specifications and standards and through continued innovation and intelligent thinking we aim to exceed and improve on them every day.

"This is a really exciting opportunity for Interserve because not only does it significantly expand our capabilities in the sector, it gives us a footprint on many of the UK's nuclear sites."

Peter May, head of commercial delivery at Magnox, said: "A single facilities management contract provides us with greater flexibility and a consistent approach to the delivery of services, as we strive for innovation and greater efficiency in all areas of our business."

Interserve is also the sole contractor in a four-year framework agreement with Magnox to design and construct facilities to store intermediate-level waste.
