London's reopened Design Museum selects Julius Rutherfoord as specialist cleaning and soft FM services provider

London's Design Museum, which is set to become the world's leading museum of contemporary design and architecture as it reopens in a spectacular new location, has chosen Julius Rutherfoord as its specialist cleaning and soft FM services provider.

The museum's new home is in a landmark building from the 1960s in Kensington High Street, where it will have three times more space than its previous location. It houses the brand new Swarovski Foundation Centre for Learning, the 202-seat Bakala Auditorium and a dedicated gallery to display its permanent collection, which will be accessible free of charge.

Julius Rutherfoord's contract incorporates a broad range of cleaning and facilities management services including front of house gallery and facilities cleaning, back of house office cleaning, security, waste management, grounds maintenance and window cleaning.

Other services will include provision of a logistics team and traffic marshals, full time porters and additional cleaning based around special events.

Brian Reeves, head of facilities from The Design Museum, said: "Following a competitive tender process, it was evident that Julius Rutherfoord demonstrated both the experience and genuine understanding of our design values required to deliver the planned and reactive services expected by the Design Museum during both the transition from practical completion and beyond.

"They combined an impressive market-leading process for staff vetting, successful experience of major visitor attractions and the flexibility of being located in the heart of London. Through their proven solutions for improving buildings environmental performance, Julius Rutherfoord will enable us to realise our environmental goals over the coming years. We can trust them to build strong bonds with our other key partners to ensure we deliver a world class experience for visitors to the Design Museum."
