Mitie scoops five year Wigan Council scheme

Mitie has beaten off five rivals to land a maintenance and refurbishment deal in the North West potentially worth £24m.

The Wigan Council scheme features around 300 local authority-owned properties, including the town hall, libraries and leisure facilities.

The deal is worth £3m a year and initially will run for five years. But, depending on performance, there is the option to extend the contract by a further three years.

The work includes responsive and emergency maintenance, plus planned general maintenance and refurbishment tasks.
