BNP Paribas SA’s London Branch has appointed Sodexo UK & Ireland as the sole IFM services partner for four sites, moving from multiple providers delivering single services to a fully integrated approach to FM services.
The new seven-year contract with the French multinational universal bank and financial services holding company commenced in November 2024, with Sodexo’s take-over of the portfolio of FM services being phased.
Services under the new contract include cleaning, waste management, pest control, mailroom, reprographics, workplace management, hard FM services and security.
Lynsey O’Keefe, CEO Corporate Services, Sodexo UK & Ireland said: “BNP Paribas joins our growing portfolio of market leading financial institutions which are choosing to partner with us. Not only are we able to demonstrate our service delivery is efficient and effective, but we will also enable BNP Paribas to focus on its core business, safe in the knowledge our teams will be ensuring its workplaces run seamlessly, elevating the employee experience for its UK workforce.”
Paula Mellows, Head of Business Support Services, BNP Paribas CIB added: “A key goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of bringing all the soft and hard FM services under one provider, and we were impressed by Sodexo’s demonstration of the benefits adopting this approach would have on our workplace strategy, with the delivery of financial efficiencies just one of these advantages. Sodexo was able to demonstrate its forward-thinking approach to service delivery and utilising digital technology, all with sustainability at the centre of its operations. We have agreed a phased implementation of the new contract to ensure there is a smooth transition.”
BNP Paribas already partners with Sodexo in France, Belgium, Germany, the USA and Canada.
