Outlook<br />
Currently one of the most significant opportunities for outsourcing is in the<br />
UK, where the pipeline for further government outsourcing remains strong,<br />
particularly in areas such as prisons, police, health <strong>and</strong> the Department for<br />
Work <strong>and</strong> Pensions. In the longer term we believe there will be further<br />
opportunities to drive outsourcing in developing markets based on the<br />
expertise we have demonstrated in the UK <strong>and</strong> elsewhere.<br />
Case study<br />
Ministry of Justice, UK<br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, the Ministry of Justice consolidated a number of facilities services<br />
contracts into two regional contracts. <strong>G4S</strong> was awarded the contract to<br />
provide more than 150 maintenance, catering, cleaning, security <strong>and</strong> energy<br />
management services to over 340 court, tribunal <strong>and</strong> administration<br />
buildings across the Midl<strong>and</strong>s, Wales <strong>and</strong> the North of Engl<strong>and</strong>. <strong>G4S</strong> will<br />
employ around 800 staff to fulfil the contract, the majority of whom will<br />
be transferred from existing service providers.<br />
The contract builds on the company’s position as the UK’s fastest growing<br />
facilities services provider. <strong>G4S</strong>’s commitment to industry <strong>and</strong> professional<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ards, partnering <strong>and</strong> continuous improvement was a key factor in<br />
securing this new contract.<br />
