Sodexo secures £16m contract extension with BAE Systems Munitions

Sodexo's Corporate Services' division has won a £16m, four-year extension to its contract with BAE Systems Munitions.

The foodservice company first partnered with the UK's largest defence and security firm in 2019.

Sodexo's 60-strong team will continue to deliver its soft and hard facilities management contract, which involves catering, cleaning, and building maintenance, across four munitions locations.

These include Washington, Tyne & Wear; Radway Green, Crewe; Glascoed, near Usk in south Wales and Hexham in Northumberland.

At Glascoed, which is the largest of the sites, Sodexo will also provide employee uniform laundering.

Nearly 4,000 employees across Washington, Radway Green and Glascoed will have access to breakfast and lunch at Sodexo's Kitchen Works Co. staff restaurants, which take inspiration from the quick-service sector.

Julie Ennis, chief executive of Corporate Services, Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: "Our team at BAE Systems Munitions has fostered a true partnership with the client across the four locations. Through their understanding of BAE System's needs, and those of its people, we have become a valuable partner and extension to their Munitions business, and I am proud that their expertise and excellent service delivery has resulted in this four year extension."

Tony Richards, operations, SHE & quality director at BAE Systems Munitions, added: "Since the contract started in 2019 the Sodexo team has become an integral part of the BAE Systems team. Their unwavering commitment to ensuring the smooth running of our facilities and wellbeing of our people throughout the global pandemic and beyond is one of the reasons we decided to extend the contract."

Sodexo's Corporate Services offers workplace services, facilities management and food services to headquarters, manufacturing centres and research hubs.
