Fusion21 member Tudor Grange Academies Trust has accessed our Compliance & Facilities Management Framework, carrying out a further competition for the delivery of Total FM services.

A 3-year contract - worth £6M - has been awarded to Bellrock Group to provide services to eight academies located across the Worcestershire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Leicestershire areas.

With the contract set for completion in July 2021, Bellrock will undertake soft services such as cleaning and grounds maintenance. Also provided are hard services such as reactive maintenance, planned proactive maintenance, health & safety inspections, building condition surveys and delivering project management support.

Bellrock is deploying their ‘Concerto’ software and a central tool to help ensure the efficient management of the contract and services.

Steven Groutage, Chief Operating Officer at Tudor Grange Academies Trust said: “As our academies trust continues to grow, it’s important that we bring all of our FM requirements under a single Total FM managed service – offering a consistent service to our schools. Following a successful self-service procurement process, Bellrock meets our requirements and is a great fit for us.”

Phil Woodhead, Category Manager at Fusion21 added: “Opting for a Total FM package will allow the Trust and the academies to focus on providing outstanding teaching and learning without being distracted by building maintenance. It will also significantly free up time spent managing individual facilities management services.

“We’re delighted to have provided Tudor Grange Academies Trust and their appointed consultant 9ine Consulting with a self-service option, which has provided an efficient and OJEU compliant route to market.”
