ISS wins contract with NIBSC
ISS Facility Services has announced that it has been awarded the contract to provide security and cleaning services to the National Institute for Biological Standards & Control (NIBSC), a centre of the Health Protection Agency (HPA).
Based in South Mimms, Hertfordshire, NIBSC is a multi-disciplinary scientific establishment whose purpose is to safeguard and enhance public health by standardising and controlling biological substances used in medicines. This means that high levels of vigilance coupled with exemplary hygiene are paramount.
Seven operatives will provide general and periodic cleaning, with certain areas of the building benefitting from a more specialised service, to preserve the cleanliness of a site of this nature.
A team of eight security officers will provide a constant 24 hour presence on-site, with a receptionist covering weekday office hours, providing the high levels of customer service that visitors to this busy site expect.
"We are delighted to have been selected to provide security and cleaning to NIBSC and play a key role in providing a clean and safe environment for the staff who carry out this strategically important work," says Michael Carre, ISS Facility Services Security Managing Director.
"This clearly demonstrates the value that our clients place on our house of services ethos."
