Amey secures place on GCA facilities management framework

Amey, one of the UK's largest infrastructure and facilities management providers, has secured a place on the Government Commercial Agency's updated FM and security services framework. The appointment enables Amey to bid for a wide range of public-sector contracts covering building maintenance, estate management, cleaning, security and integrated facilities services. With the public sector increasingly focused on carbon reduction and social value, suppliers on the framework must demonstrate robust environmental and operational credentials.

Large-scale FM contracts of the type now accessible through this framework typically involve substantial vehicle fleets: mobile engineers, maintenance teams, cleaning operatives and management personnel all require reliable, compliant transport. As public-sector clients demand transparent carbon reporting and alignment with net-zero commitments, fleet electrification and connected vehicle data are becoming standard expectations. Suppliers unable to demonstrate progress on fleet decarbonisation risk losing competitive advantage.

Businesses operating in the FM and infrastructure sectors should treat fleet as a strategic asset, not just an operational cost. Review your vehicle mix, assess electric options for high-mileage and urban routes, and implement telematics to capture the data clients increasingly require. Public-sector procurement often includes specific questions on fleet emissions, whole-life costs and driver safety management, so having clear answers and credible plans is essential for winning work.
