FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Dalkia UK has retained its facilities management contract with Derby College for a further two years.
Awarded following a competitive tender process, the new two-year agreement encompasses planned maintenance, reactive and statutory compliance works across the College’s diverse estate, which includes classrooms, laboratories, catering areas, sports facilities and specialist spaces such as animal care units.
In addition to the day-to-day FM services, Dalkia will provide wider estates support, offering end to end solutions helping the College meet its long- term strategic and net zero goals.
Mark Davis, Operations Manager, Dalkia UK commented: “I’m delighted that we continue to work alongside Derby College as their trusted partner, helping to create safe, efficient, and future-ready learning environments. Our on-going partnership with Derby College Group (DCG) reflects the strength of our relationship and our aligning values. The education sector is a growing and important part of our portfolio and we’re proud to support DCG as they evolve their estate strategy. Our focus remains on delivering a technically led, innovative service that not only ensures operational excellence but also contributes to their ambitions around carbon reduction, energy efficiency, and estate transformation.”
Ant Dews, Director of Estates and Property DCG, added: “At DCG, we are committed to providing high-quality, sustainable environments that enhance the learning experience for our students and staff. We’re pleased to continue our partnership with Dalkia UK, whose technical expertise and responsive approach have consistently supported the safe and efficient operation of our estate. Their understanding of the unique needs of an educational environment, coupled with their shared commitment to our long-term goals around sustainability and innovation, makes them a valued partner as we continue to evolve our estate strategy.”
