Artic continues to expand on its Education Sector specialism with the addition of yet another Central London School to its rapidly expanding portfolio of PPM contracts to Schools and Universities. Our latest success is a new school in the Marylebone area in the heart of Central London, which initially approached Artic after a recommendation from one of our existing school sites. We participated in a tender process during which Artic’s willingness to aid the school with development of their scope of works both inclusions and exclusions was greatly appreciated by the School’s Business Manager. This partnering approach coupled with a competitive tender resulted in Artic obtaining the contract during the school holidays with a challenging mobilisation time to get the contract provision ready for the start of the new school year.

Artic’s team of enhanced DBS security checked engineers have all undertaken child safeguarding training as a specific company policy. This means that we can begin to realise the site’s maintenance with full confidence that we can maintain our high quality standards of engineering whilst offering the school complete reassurance that our engineers know and understand the strict regimes that need to be in place when working around children. The contract covers a full Hard FM scope whilst some specific assets remain delivered by specialist sub-contractors having existing contracts directly with the school. Artic’s Contract Management team are working in partnership with the school’s Business team to manage their sub-contractor partners as part of a coordinated overall full building service delivery.
