Carillion wins support services contracts in Canada worth over £100 million

Carillion and its subsidiary business, the Bouchier Group, have won support services contracts for a number of oil sector customers, including Shell and Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL), together with a maintenance and hard facilities management contract for the Department of National Defence Canada. Together these contracts are expected to be worth over £100 million over a period of up to five years.

The three-year contract for Shell (extendable to five years), which involves the provision of hard facilities management services to Shell's estate across the Province of Alberta, will start in November 2015. This demonstrates the success of our strategy of delivering support services to key natural resources customers in Alberta through the Bouchier Group, one of the leading aboriginal businesses in Canada. It also builds on the strong relationship that Carillion has established with Shell, for whom we already deliver facilities management services in the UK and the Middle East. The contract extensions we have won for CNRL involve the provision of a range of infrastructure and site support services. The contract for the Defence Construction Canada Forces Housing Agency involves the provision of hard facilities management services for 1,685 military accommodation units at Canadian Forces Base, Petewawa.

Commenting, Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are delighted to have secured further support services contracts for long-term customers, notably Shell, Canadian Natural Resources Limited and the Defence Construction Canada Forces Housing Agency, which further enhance the good progress being made by our support services business in Canada. We look forward to working with these customers and to building on the strong relationships we have already established through providing value-for-money services that deliver significant operational efficiencies."
