Sodexo has secured a two-year \u00a316 million-a-year extension to its soft FM services contract at His Majesty\u2019s Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth, as part of the Ministry of Defence\u2019s Future Maritime Support Programme (FMSP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sodexo\u2019s dedicated team of 300 employees provides a wide range of essential services, including cleaning, waste management, catering, retail, leisure activities, grounds maintenance, and helpdesk support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since taking over the contract five years ago Sodexo has demonstrated its commitment to making meaningful change having identified a number of improvement opportunities to enhance the lived experience of those based at HMNB Portsmouth. It has successfully completed the majority with more in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improvements have included changes to the retail facilities and the introduction of its Mindful Active Programme which offers health and wellbeing guidance to military personnel, helping them make informed choices about their lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sodexo\u2019s commitment to reduce the impact of its services on the environment has seen more environmentally friendly chemicals introduced, the use of re-usable micro-fibre cloths and mops used to reduce waste in paper and disposable cloths and other recycling initiatives as well as the implementation of Sodexo\u2019s WasteWatch data-driven food waste management<\/a> programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Baker, COO Defence, Government & Energy, Sodexo UK & Ireland said: \u201cThe extension of this contract recognises our commitment to improvements in service delivery at HMNB Portsmouth. Through a strong focus on operational excellence, environmental responsibility and wellbeing support, our dedicated team has delivered outcomes that matter to military personnel at the base\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future Maritime Support Programme is made up of 11 contracts in total which support and maintain UK HM Naval Bases equipment and capabilities, ensuring that Royal Navy personnel benefit from enhanced services and facilities whilst on land or at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HMNB Portsmouth has been an integral part of the city since 1194 and is home to almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy’s surface ships. The base is a major employer and provides lodging facilities to personnel serving at the base and in Portsmouth-based ships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
