Hotel services
We provide short term healthcare hotel service contracts where typically the length of a contract is five years and the core services include:
- Catering
- Housekeeping
- Cleaning
- Portering and
- Helpdesk.
We develop successful service solutions and work closely with key preferred suppliers across all our contracts. We are also keen to be involved with additional hotel services such as:
- Grounds maintenance
- Pest control and
- Window cleaning.
Across both of the following two contracts we feed around 425 patients daily and service some 450 staff and visitors from our restaurant and coffee shop areas.
CASE STUDY: East Elmbridge and Mid Surrey PCT
Our contract with East Elmbridge & Mid Surrey Primary Care Trust to deliver patient catering, housekeeping, cleaning, portering and linen services commenced in April 2006.
Our contract with the PCT involves providing the above services to five cottage hospitals as well as twelve health centres and clinics. Previously FM services were provided by more than seven different organisations mainly as part of local acute or mental health hospital existing contracts and as such presented a complex situation for us to manage in the lead up to contract commencement. Mobilisation is always a crucial component of any contract being successful and our expertise in managing this process is demonstrated in the following references provided by the Trust’s operational manager, Pam Taylor:
“G4S Integrated Services were taking over a complex situation but have a very competent, professional team to work through all the detail and deliver an excellent service. I have been impressed by their willingness to meet any challenge they were given as well as their commitment to meet the needs of the PCT and the patients’ requirements. G4S Integrated Services has demonstrated a true partnership approach in working with us to achieve the best results for our patients.”
CASE STUDY: Tower Hamlets PCT and East London and The City Mental Health Trust
Our second contract became operational in May 2006 with Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust and East London and The City Mental Health Trust. We provide two hospitals as well as twenty-three health centres and clinics with a full range of services that include staff and visitor catering.
“G4S Integrated Services provide good quality services at all times. The services provided by G4S Integrated Services have also been proven to be good value for money via an extensive competitive market testing exercise.” (David Butcher, Director of Capital Development & LIFT, Tower Hamlets PCT)
Highlights from the recent Modern Matron’s Charter visit in October 2007:
“Last year was excellent this year is even better.."
"The results were a clear demonstration of the partnering between the Trust and G4S Integrated Services.."
"Vast improvements from last year’s excellent standards.."
"We have actually had problems finding any cleaning issues..”
Our success has led to further business and we are now providing similar services to East Surrey PCT at Caterham Dene Hospital, Croydon PCT and Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
