Renewal of Hard FM & Maintenance Contracts – National Express

Mobico Group, trading as National Express, operates a vast public transport network across the UK, with estates ranging from large vehicle depots to small ticket offices.

National Express manages a very diverse and spread-out estate.

They faced challenges with older maintenance contracts that no longer met operational needs.

LCMB were engaged to help modernise these contracts and secure a new service provider.

 

 

“Over several years, National Express has developed a strong working relationship with LCMB, whose deep understanding of our operations and objectives made this complex process as seamless as possible. LCMB provided invaluable support throughout, helping us enhance the maintenance of our estate across the board. We would gladly work with them again in the future.”
