Interserve has won a three-year account extension to provide support services to CooperVision, manufacturers of contact lenses.

The service provider has worked with CooperVision since 2009 and is set to continue delivering cleaning and grounds maintenance services at its 15-acre manufacturing site in Hamble, Hampshire.

The contract covers the manufacturer’s 15 manufacturing facilities and laboratories, which operate to ‘clean room’ standards, and support areas such as maintenance and engineering workshops.

Interserve aims “to reduce costs and provide a more environmentally efficient service by delivering a 24/7 service using new, sustainable technologies such as chemical free scrubber driers and pre-dosed chemical cleaning”.

The contract extension comes a week after the service provider’s partnership with the Environment Agency was renewed for a further two years.

The new contract is valued at £11 million, and sees Interserve continue to provide its cleaning, maintenance and security operation across more than 100 locations.
