GSH has been appointed by the University of Cambridge to deliver its new Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) contract for the University’s residential and mixed-use estate portfolio, including the landmark Eddington development.

Working alongside the University, GSH will deliver a fully integrated FM solution spanning Hard FM, Cleaning, Grounds, Helpdesk, and resident-facing services – all underpinned by CAFM (Computer-Aided Facilities Management) integration and digital solutions designed to enhance transparency, engagement, and service outcomes.



GSH Group’s approach is built upon a collaborative partnership ethos, with a shared focus on:

  • Enhancing the resident and stakeholder experience across the University’s portfolio.
  • Delivering sustainable, socially responsible services aligned to the University’s Net Zero commitments.
  • Harnessing innovation and continuous improvement to help the University manage its estate portfolio more efficiently, now and in the future.

Commenting on the win, Matt Mannion, Regional Business Development Director, said:

“This is a hugely important contract for GSH in the UK and a real vote of confidence from one of the world’s leading universities. The mobilisation phase demonstrated exactly what we stand for as a business – collaboration, transparency and delivering on our commitments. We’re proud to now be live on site and focused on providing a high-quality, resident-focused service that supports the University’s long-term ambitions.”
