Optimus Facilities secures decarbonisation contracts in excess of £4m

Mechanical and electrical services firm, Optimus Facilities, which operates across the North West has secured three major decarbonisation contracts in excess of £4 million.

The largest of these wins is a 12-month contract worth £2.5 million in collaboration with Liverpool John Moores University. To add to the organisations’ strong portfolio, the groundbreaking decarbonisation project includes designing and installing high performing systems to meet residual energy demands for the Redmonds Building.

First opened in 2013, the Redmonds Building requires significant adjustments to its infrastructure to reduce the building’s carbon footprint. The works include replacing ventilation systems and fan coil units, alongside integrating advanced BMS controls to optimise performance and completing a full LED lighting upgrade. This programme has been designed to enhance the energy efficiency of the building to align with the University’s sustainability policy.

Liverpool John Moores University, said: “We’re pleased to be working with Optimus Facilities on this project to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of our Redmonds Building. LJMU has a comprehensive strategy to decarbonise our estate and these works will help us move towards our ambition of reaching net zero.” 

To cap an exceptional year of business, Optimus Facilities has worked on several other decarbonisation projects across the North West and has successfully delivered projects across medical centres, government buildings, universities, schools, colleges, and hospitals. This includes a full mechanical and electrical design and build package for a 420-seat auditorium and a three-storey medical centre for the NHS.

To help navigate this growth, Optimus Facilities has strengthened its team through the appointment of an estimator, project manager, quantity surveyor and building services apprentice, ensuring the company remains well-equipped to meet growing demand.

Josh Meadows, Managing Director, Optimus Facilities, said: “Securing these contracts demonstrates our team’s expertise in delivering sustainable, high-performance solutions. Working with an esteemed institution like Liverpool John Moores University – an integral part of our city since 1823 – to support its decarbonisation goals, highlights the increasing demand for innovative sustainability strategies and our ability to deliver at scale. 

“These wins mark a major milestone for us, and we are proud to play a key role in helping clients achieve their net-zero ambitions. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on driving forward energy-efficient solutions that make a tangible impact on people, place and planet.”
