Industry practice Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) has been selected for Co-op's Facilities Management (FM) Division Framework.

The three-year programme covers more than 4,000 buildings and has been created by Co-op to centralise services and increase efficiencies.

Chris Hartley, RLB Partner and Head of Building Surveying in the UK, said RLB is "extremely pleased" to be working on the framework.


"The estate covers over 4,000 buildings nationwide and we have already started work on a number of exciting programmes," he said.

"This is a fantastic win and we relish the opportunity to assist The Co-operative in delivering safely our Industry leading service that colleagues trust and are proud to recommend. It is a testament to the strength of RLB's Building Surveying and Health and Safety Provision and our expertise in retail across the UK."
