Holborn Building Services has secured a contract to undertake planned and reactive maintenance on air conditioning systems in sites operated by West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS). The contract from facilities
management company J Tomlinson covers 24 sites, including the WMAS main headquarters, outlying ambulance station hubs, emergency call centres, drug storage areas and offices. As well as maintaining the
standard split air-conditioning units and larger VRV multi-split type air conditioning, Holborn will also maintain the close control air conditioning in the server rooms. Holborn Building Services director,
Nick Scragg, commented: “This contract win comes hot on the heels of our work upgrading the cooling system in the WMAS 999-critical server room, a project secured following a competitive pitch which reflects the strength of our offering. “Our resources ensure we can
easily fulfil the demands of the contract, including the necessary 24/7 emergency call-out service and
a 4-hour response time. “All of the equipment we will be
maintaining is well-known to us, but the server room cooling system is very familiar to our engineers. We only recently installed a new close control cooling system into a live server room environment, using DencoHappel units fitted with inverter drive compressor and EC fans, driven by energy-saving motors with electronic control (electronic commutation) ensuring optimal operating efficiency.” Barry Burdett, contract manager
at J Tomlinson, said of the award: “Holborn’s track-record in delivering effectively and maintaining efficiently, high-quality air- conditioning solutions was a deciding factor in this contract award. “Holborn’s pitch showed they
understood the needs of the Trust, recognising that individuals in such high-pressure roles in a critical service need a similarly fast, responsive service when things go wrong with the cooling or air- conditioning systems. “I have every confidence their pragmatic, can-do attitude will
overcome any problems that occur during the life of the contract, which is one less thing for me and my FM team to worry about.”
Incentive FM Consultancy is currently delivering an intensive consultancy project for Camelot, the licensed operator of the National Lottery. They will review the organisation’s
facilities managements operations and make recommendations for any future structural and operational service delivery changes that will enable Camelot to become even more efficient as it strives to build on the £30m a week it already raises for National Lottery Good Cause projects across the UK. Incentive has appointed a
dedicated head of facilities management, Alicia Moult, to oversee the Camelot’s day-to-day facilities management operations and work with other members of the Incentive executive team on this assignment. As part of the project, a detailed
plan and regular reports will be provided to Camelot’s executive team with recommendations and options
for the organisation’s facilities management budget and operation around the UK. Incentive will also review current operations across Camelot’s portfolio of buildings, before recommending the most appropriate and effective future model for service delivery. The intention is for Camelot to implement its finalised facilities management strategy from 1 April 2018 or sooner. Neil Kellar, operations director at
Camelot, said: “Camelot is unique – we’re a commercial company charged with raising billions of pounds for the public good. So, when carrying out projects of this nature, it is important that we work closely with a partner we can trust.” Jeremy Waud, chairman of
Incentive FM Group, said: “Camelot is a highly-regulated, complex and successful business, and we are extremely pleased to be working with them on this important project. Alicia is an outstanding candidate and we are confident she will flourish in her new role. As a team, we are fully committed to delivering a number of interesting and cost-efficient alternative FM solutions for Camelot.”
