JCA Engineering has secured a five-year maintenance contract to deliver hard FM services to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

Following a competitive tender process, Chelsea & Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust awarded the contract to JCA Engineering who will provide M&E maintenance across the estate encompassing the main site at Fulham Road, as well as several smaller clinics.

Service provision at the site include planned preventive, reactive and building maintenance, external areas maintenance, energy and utility maintenance, fire safety systems and procedures, the estate’s emergency and contingency planning, and statutory testing.

JCA Engineering has previously delivered several projects for the hospital, the most recent being the design and construction of an HVAC infrastructure upgrade to cater for a new NICU and ICU expansion project. JCA looks to deliver projects through their own teams, from design to construction to maintenance.

JCA works extensively within the healthcare sector and although the company works closely within the guidelines set out within the numerous hospital and healthcare standards, it has created its own healthcare charter, JCARE, which unifies JCA’s design, project and maintenance standards. JCARE promotes healthy and safe working policies in hospitals and healthcare organisations.

Ian Jackson, Chairman at JCA, said: “The recent appointment strengthens JCA’s position in the market as a reliable and trusted engineering and maintenance services supplier. We see this new contract as an excellent opportunity to develop a strong partnership with the Trust.”
