Arthur McKay is to provide National Records of Scotland (NRS) with facilities management services including mechanical and electrical maintenance, building fabric, cleaning, cleaning supplies, waste management and grounds maintenance.

NRS is a non-ministerial department of the Scottish Government that performs many functions including registration, statistical and archival services.

The contract, won through a competitive tender, covers six buildings and will run for four years, with an option to extend for a period of up to two further years. Arthur McKay has provided FM services to NRS for the past six years, but the new deal extends the range of services provided.

Last month, the service provider landed a contract with the London Borough of Croydon, where it is to provide hard FM services over five years.
