Robertson Facilities Management has secured its first contract with ScotRail after being appointed to deliver grounds maintenance and winter gritting services across the rail operator’s Scottish estate.

The two-year contract was awarded following a competitive tender process and marks the first time Robertson Facilities Management has worked with ScotRail. The appointment strengthens the company’s presence within the transport and infrastructure sector.

Under the agreement, Robertson Facilities Management will deliver planned and reactive services at more than 360 locations across Scotland. These include stations, depots, signalling centres, office buildings, operational yards and a wide range of passenger-facing environments that require year-round maintenance.

The scope of works covers winter gritting, vegetation control, litter collection and broader grounds maintenance activities. The services are designed to support safe, accessible and well-managed environments, particularly during challenging winter conditions, while maintaining consistent standards throughout the year.

William Heaney, managing director for Scotland at Robertson Facilities Management, said Scotland’s rail network plays a vital role in daily life and requires a high level of care to ensure it remains safe, compliant and welcoming.

He said the business brings extensive experience in maintaining complex operational estates and will apply this expertise to deliver consistent, high-quality and value-driven services across the ScotRail network. Heaney added that the company is looking forward to developing a collaborative partnership with ScotRail to support both staff and passengers throughout the year.

The contract award represents an important milestone for Robertson Facilities Management and reflects growing demand for integrated, reliable estate services across major transport and public sector portfolios.
