London Fire Brigade Expands Geographical Scope of ABM Hard Services Contract

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) has extended an integrated mechanical and engineering, plumbing, HVAC and critical systems maintenance contract it awarded ABM in January 2023 to cover sites in South London.

ABM was originally selected to support LFB North which operates 51 stations for the north region of LFB's estate with a comprehensive suite of maintenance, plumbing, fabric and specialist trade services, including building management and fuel delivery systems.

The expanded contract also includes provision of hard services at LFB's headquarters, its operational support centre and 999 call centre.

Ensuring our buildings and critical systems are reliable and resilient is essential to supporting our firefighters and teams as they serve Londoners.

Claire Page, Head of Property at London Fire Brigade, said: "Ensuring our buildings and critical systems are reliable and resilient is essential to supporting our firefighters and teams as they serve Londoners. The work delivered to date clearly demonstrates the technical capability, rapid responsiveness and deep understanding of our operational environment required to support the wider estate."

Richard Sykes, SVP and President of ABM UK and Ireland, said: "We are delighted to be growing our partnership with LFB. Expanding this contract reflects the trust built through consistent delivery, strong collaboration and a deep understanding of the critical nature of London Fire Brigade operations. This is an important milestone for ABM and creates a strong foundation for a long-term partnership."

The contract strengthens ABM's presence within mission-critical public sector environments.
