SAS UK Contract Win for Temco
SAS, the world's largest privately held software company, has awarded the three year contract to clean their prestigious 100,000 square foot UK Headquarters to Temco Services. The complex is on the 110 acre Wittington House estate, with a range of buildings from a century-old country house to modern new build.
The tender process started in May this year. Claire Donald, SAS’ Facilities Coordinator had researched 10 companies and narrowed it down to a short list of five to submit detailed tenders. Each was evaluated in terms of quality and quantity, using a six category weighting system.
“Temco came out way ahead of the rest,” she says, “We really didn’t want to go through the selection process to end up with more of the same, so Temco’s fresh methodologies were very appealing. We were particularly impressed by their staff management strategy, with their approach to training, empowerment and giving staff ownership of their work fitting in well with our own ethos.”
Andrew Philpot, Managing Director of Temco Services is clearly delighted with the award. “Our approach is a good fit with companies such as SAS that balance quality of service and cost effectiveness with a strong sense of corporate responsibility. Since we launched our UK operation we have stayed true to our business model - the achievement of outstanding results through professional management and staff empowerment. Prestigious contract wins like this demonstrate that the time has come for Temco.”
