The Ministry of Justice has formed a new government-owned facilities management company to take on Carillion FM work.
The new company Gov Facility Services will take over the delivery of the prison Facilities Management services previously provided by Carillion such as cleaning, reactive maintenance, landscaping and planned building repair work.
Around 1,000 staff, including 100 contractors, previously employed by Carillion, will now move across with their terms and conditions of employment preserved.
Services, which are provided to 52 prison establishments located across South West, South Central, Kent & Sussex, Greater London and East of England, will continue unaffected in the transfer.
Justice Secretary, David Gauke said: “We have robust contingency plans and are taking appropriate action to ensure that the prison FM services continue to operate normally.”
This means the work that was undertaken by Carillion will move to a new government-owned company set up for this purpose. I’d like to thank all the Carillion staff who are moving across into the new company, and reassure them that their jobs are secure. The vital work they do to maintain and improve our prisons is greatly valued and appreciated.
The new company has already been created and will take responsibility for the prison FM services as soon as the formal transfer of staff has occurred.
