The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Awards Dalkia UK Total FM Contract
12 December 2024
 

Dalkia UK has won a five-year multi-service contract at the recently rebuilt Paterson building at The Christie campus in Manchester. 

Dalkia UK will provide technical expertise, front-of-house reception support, and cleaning services in the building. The service provider was initially appointed to deliver technical facilities management services at the site in September 2023.

In 2017 there was a major fire at the Patterson Building, and over 100 firefighters and 16 fire engines attended the three-storey hospital to tackle the blaze. The building housed the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, and over 300 scientists and research staff were displaced.

Covering over 25,000 square metres, the new Paterson Building is one of the world's leading cancer research centres. It’s set to become home to the largest concentration of scientists, doctors and nurses in Europe with 300 scientists and 400 clinicians and operational staff, practising what is known as  “team science”. It will deliver clinical trials covering the full extent of the patient pathway, from prevention and novel treatments to living with and beyond cancer.

Nicolas Pages, Business Unit Director for Dalkia, said, “We are delighted that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust has renewed their trust in Dalkia delivering work on this world-leading Cancer Research Centre. It is a pleasure to work in such a collaborative environment with all three partners, which will not only impact the individual through improved cancer treatments but also accelerate the city of Manchester’s contribution to global medical innovation.”

Reflecting on the partnership, Alex Beedle, Head of Estates & Facilities at The Christie stated: “I am pleased to continue our relationship with Dalkia UK with the Trust as a vital supplier of hard and soft Facilities Management services at the Paterson Building. I look forward to strengthening our long-term partnership with the Dalkia team in the delivery of these vital services here in Manchester.”
