Aaron Oddy confirms: “StratusPower uniquely offers a 30-year design life to help data centres to achieve net-zero targets. The system is highly efficient, scalable, and reliable, providing complete peace of mind when it comes to power availability and uptime for critical power protection. The IP54 versions of CumulusPower and StratusPower mean the solution is also suitable
for semi-industrial
applications both within different areas of the data centre and other industrial sites which might include water treatment facilities, power plants or some medical plant rooms.
“Both the IP54 rated CumulusPower and StratusPower solutions benefit from integral batteries and front access to improve ease of maintenance and save space while offering a more cost-effective
solution than a more traditional
industrial UPS. We enjoyed welcoming visitors and discussing the flexibility and wider applications of our leading UPS at DCW this year on booth D725.”
Centiel now protects critical loads for data centres and comms rooms in over 100 countries across five continents. For further information please see:

Mitie Secures New Contract With HMRC
• Mitie has secured a new five‑year contract, with the option to extend up to a total of ten years, with His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) to provide security services across its nationwide estate
• The contract, valued at approximately £15 million a year, will see Mitie continue to support HMRC’s ten‑year transformation programme by enhancing its security intelligence offering and introducing a new digital risk management tool
• Mitie has committed to taking on 75 apprentices, part of its pledge for 5% of its workforce in earn and learn positions as a member of the 5% Club
Following a competitive procurement process, Mitie has secured a new contract with HMRC to provide security services across 40 sites nationwide, including 12 government hubs located across the UK from Glasgow to Belfast and Leeds to London. Coming into service in June 2024, the contract, valued at approximately £15 million a year, will run for five years with the option to extend up to a total of ten years. This builds on Mitie’s experience as the sole provider of security for HMRC since the services were combined under a single provider five years ago.
The new contract will see Mitie continue to support HMRC’s ten-year transformation programme, which aims to modernise the organisation’s offices and buildings and make better use of technology. Mitie will enhance its security intelligence offering by developing a dedicated Security Operations Centre (SOC) for HMRC.
Mitie will also roll out its digital risk management tool to digitise and streamline the security risk and threat profile assessment process. Through the data-driven software, Mitie’s specialist security analysts will be able to manage and continually update the risk profile across HMRC’s estate in real-time and in response to intelligence on changes in local and national threat levels, enabling faster identification of potential threats.
Mitie has committed to taking on 75 apprentices on the contract, aligning with the government’s target to increase apprenticeship achievement in the UK and Mitie’s own commitment to having 5% of its workforce in earn and learn positions, as a member of the 5% Club. HMRC awarded this contract following Mitie’s reappointment to the Crown Commercial Service framework for Security (RM6257) in October 2022, signifying its commitment to providing security services to the government and wider public sector.
Jason Towse, Managing Director of Business Services, Mitie, said: “To have our contract continued for up to ten more years is recognition of the successful work Mitie has undertaken with HMRC. Having gained extensive knowledge on HMRC’s estate over the last five years, we now look forward to continuing to support HMRC’s transformation by developing our services and focusing on an intelligence-led approach to security alongside the latest forward-thinking technology.”
Clare Robinson, HMRC Deputy Director, Workplace Policy and Plans, said: “We are pleased to confirm that following a robust and competitive process, we have signed a new contract for the provision of security services with Mitie Security Limited. HMRC looks forward to working again with Mitie, to deliver a high standard of security provision in HMRC’s Estate throughout the UK.”
