Balfour Beatty Workplace has been awarded a contract worth £7 million a year to deliver total facilities management services across UK Power Networks property portfolio.
The contract, which is for three years, with the opportunity to extend for a further two, covers about 80 UK sites across London, the South East and East Anglia.

Andy Hobart, MD of Balfour Beatty Workplace, said: "I am delighted that UK Power Networks has appointed Balfour Beatty Workplace to this significant role. Once again Balfour Beatty Workplace has shown that it has the flexibility to deliver a wide range of services and that these can be tailored very effectively to the specific requirements of a client with a large number of diverse sites across a large geographical area."
