ISS Denmark Wins Biggest IFS Contract ever
ISS Facility Services A/S in Denmark has won the biggest IFS contract so far
ISS has concluded a five-year agreement with the Danish telecom giant, TDC, on the delivery of facility services at its many locations.
The annual value of the contract is counted in three-digit million Danish kroner (DKK).
"This contract is the largest we have won so far within Integrated Facility Services, where ISS supplies all the service functions in connection with the daily management of a customer's buildings. TDC is one of Denmark 's largest companies and an extremely interesting outsourcing partner. We are very much looking forward to this new task", says Country Manager Allan Aebischer, ISS Facility Services A/S.
The agreement covers a series of services related to the operation of properties at TDC. These include reception, cleaning, catering, janitor services, and night watchmen. The contract involves approx. 500 employees, and ISS will also take over management responsibility for 85 TDC employees.
“ISS provides the employees with a better job guarantee than we would have been able to give them. We are outsourcing the service area to a provider, who has this area as its core competence, says Jørgen Jakobsen, Senior Vice President of TDC Services.
"The facility management area is not one of TDC's strategic core business areas. By handling the entire area and thus combining employee competencies, ISS can exploit synergies and this results in savings for TDC. The agreement with ISS is an important part of our strategy of achieving savings while at the same time increasing our flexibility," says Jørgen Jakobsen.
The agreement comes into force on 1 March, 2006.
