Transport for London awards new cleaning contract to ABM UK

Transport for London (TfL) has awarded a five-year contract for the provision of cleaning and associated services to ABM UK - guaranteeing 2,800 people will receive the London Living Wage.

The contract includes the cleaning of London Underground stations and trains, bus depots, head office buildings and the London Transport Museum.

It is one of six facilities management contracts that have been consolidated from 50 as part of TfL's work to deliver the Mayor's plans to improve public transport whilst reducing day-to-day operating costs and delivering the best possible value for money.

The new contract includes a commitment to pay employees the London Living Wage as well as a reduction in the number of agency workers throughout the lifetime of the contract. This will result in 95 per cent of staff being directly employed by ABM.

As part of the procurement process all of the bidders were required to submit an Equality and Diversity plan and ABM will be tracked on the delivery of its plan throughout the contract. The company will create 150 apprenticeship positions, offering people the chance to earn while they learn, and will also provide opportunities to support people who may encounter barriers when trying to gain employment and once they're in the workplace.
