WPS Facilities Management has renewed its contract with West Midlands Police for two years, continuing a strong partnership that’s been in place for the past five years.
The new contract will see the team provide planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and responsive repairs across mechanical, electrical, and water services plus fabric services and specialist project work at the West Midlands Police Headquarters at Lloyd House in Birmingham.
The contract, set for two years, with the option to extend for another three, builds on significant growth in the blue light sector for WPS in recent years, already working with other emergency services like Hampshire Fire and Rescue and the Police Crime Commissioner.
Jack Prady, Managing Director of WPS Facilities Management, said: “This renewal builds on our successful relationship and reinforces our role as the go-to provider for hard facilities management services for the police, ensuring vital services continue to run uninterrupted.
“With West Midlands Police, we don’t just focus on transactional maintenance activities – we’re always looking for ways to improve building performance. Whether it’s introducing sustainable technologies to help manage energy use or working on specialist projects to make lifts run more efficiently, we continue to be curious, looking at new ways to effectively meet their building challenges.”
David Bridge, Force Engineer at West Midlands Police, said: “We’re pleased to continue our partnership with WPS. The team consistently deliver a high-quality service and are always responsive to our needs. Their proactive approach to maintenance and building performance makes a real difference in keeping our operations running efficiently. We look forward to continuing this successful relationship.”
WPS Facilities Management currently looks after over 1,200 commercial properties across the UK, offering a range of FM services from helpdesk, statutory compliance, mechanical, electrical and building fabric maintenance, complemented by a national self-delivery and site-based team(s).
