ISS to mobilise contract with UK DWP
ISS has announced it will begin mobilising the recently-awarded seven-year contract with the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) on 1 October 2024, scheduled to go live in October 2025.
With an anticipated value of around DKK 1.2bn (£135m) per year, the contract will see ISS provide integrated facility services, including cleaning, catering, technical services and workplace experience to the DWP’s sites across the UK.
Through the delivery of these services, ISS is committed to supporting the DWP’s Workplace Services Programme by delivering safe, smart and sustainable professional environments that foster collaboration and enable the Department’s wider purpose.
Craig Varian, Director of DWP Estates, said: “Our Workplace Services Programme is the largest such re-procurement in government, creating a facilities management service that is business critical in enabling DWP to function and serve our customers. I’m looking forward to the new partnership with ISS and building a collaborative and exciting working relationship.”
Kasper Fangel, Group CEO of ISS, said: “I’m excited about entering this new partnership as we leverage our public sector expertise in the UK to deliver the best value to the DWP. We very much look forward to collaborating with the DWP to create safe and attractive workplaces that enhance employee wellbeing and productivity — all brought to life through ISS’s passionate and dedicated people.”
Scott Davies, CEO of ISS UK & Ireland, said: “ISS is honoured to have been awarded this landmark contract with the DWP, marking a significant milestone in our relationship with the UK public sector. I look forward to the opportunities this partnership presents for both ISS and the DWP as we work together to deliver the Department’s long-term FM ambitions and support their vital services to the UK economy and workforce.”

Hammersmith & Fulham goes green with Veolia Veolia and Hammersmith & Fulham Council have added eight new electric cargo bikes to expand the fleet to 20 new electric vehicles to make collections and street cleansing cleaner, greener and quieter for residents in the borough.
The fleet now includes eight cargo bikes, eight electric vans and three street cleansing cage vehicles, as well as one electric Refuse Collection Vehicle (eRCV) which will be used for the new garden waste collection service.
The fleet will improve air quality in the borough by reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. With electric vehicles estimated to reduce emissions by 89% compared to their diesel equivalents, this represents a significant way Veolia is supporting Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s ambitious plans of becoming the country’s greenest borough.
Cargo bikes will improve service efficiencies as they are able to reach narrower routes such as the Thames Pathway, aiding the team to empty public litter bins and collect fly-tipped waste across the borough.
Since the contract commencement in 2022, food waste services have been introduced for the first time to more than 50,000 households alongside the delivery of wheeled bins for recycling and waste to 16,000 kerbside properties.
A new paid garden waste collection service has now also been introduced for residents in the borough. The weekly collection service will see green waste collected and taken to a composting facility to be turned into high-quality fertiliser, which can then be used to help grow more plants. Garden waste will be collected in the new eRCV, making the service even greener.
Councillor Sharon Holder, Hammersmith & Fulham Cabinet Member for Public Realm, said: “Our waste team continues to ensure H&F’s parks and streets are safe and clean for residents, visitors and local wildlife. The new vehicles will help us go one step further as the waste team will now also be helping to reduce air pollution while they work.”
Scott Edgell, General Manager for Veolia South London, added: “We’re thrilled to have successfully launched these electric vehicles in Hammersmith & Fulham. The new additions to the fleet will lower emissions and contribute towards Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s target of net-zero emissions by 2030, as well as delivering an improved and streamlined service for residents. We’re proud to be leading the way for innovative and sustainable operations.”
