C O N T RA C T: Building professional services
The London Borough of Merton was looking for a long-term partner and awarded us preferred contractor
status on this contract after considering tenders from a wide range of bidders. We are managing a team
of 20 – architects, surveyors, mechanical and electrical design engineers and other professionals – whose
responsibilities include design, repairs and maintenance on some 65 schools and 400 civic and public
buildings. This is the second such contract Serco has won, and confirms that we are adding a new string
to our bow: as we establish a significant capability in building professional services, we now have the
resources to service other property portfolios.
