Northumbria University has re-appointed Sodexo to manage its FM services and residential living management in a new ten-year contract.
Sodexo has managed the student accommodation services at Northumbria University since 2014, initially covering just Trinity Square, the university’s largest accommodation block. Throughout the contract, the university has added all its four city residences, housing nearly 2,500 students each year. The new contract also includes a new catering offer at Trinity Square, serving hot drinks and grab-and-go food.
As part of the contract, Sodexo also supports the university with student wellbeing, pledging to train five mental health first responders across the contract. The FM team at Northumbria University has received numerous awards including the 2023 IWFM award for Excellence in Customer Experience, Contract Manager Tom Martin received the 2022 title of Young Leader of the Year at the PFM Partnership awards and the contact was highly commended in the 2022 Student Accommodation awards for Collaboration. The team was also shortlisted at the 2024 Property Week awards for excellence in social impact.
Erin Peart, Executive Director of Campus Services, Northumbria University said: “Sodexo continues to be one of the University’s valuable partners – not only because of the services it delivers and the commitment it has to enhancing the student experience, but in helping us to deliver social impact. We look forward to continuing this partnership with students at the heart of our shared ambitions.”
