Q3 has been granted an extension to its three-year, integrated FM contract with the health and employability specialists Maximus, covering over 160 locations across the UK.

Maximus is a specialist service organisation that works with public and private sector clients, assisting individuals into employment, providing access to support, and helping people remain healthy in their workplace and community.

This was a first-generation outsourcing programme when originally secured by Q3 in November 2022, and the new term extends the contract until August 2028.

The partnership has travelled a long way in the last two years, with Q3 introducing robust systems and processes to deliver record, high levels of statutory compliance. This is underpinned by the launch of a new cutting-edge CAFM system, introduction of workplace technology and establishment of a dedicated, self-service help desk.

Q3 and Maximus have also worked in close cooperation on the sustainability agenda, including energy-reduction projects and carbon reduction commitments.

Commenting on the contract extension, Richard Piggin, Facilities Management Director at Maximus, said: “We feel in Q3 we have found a facilities provider that can support our needs and is in tune with our cultural and social values. It’s a bespoke solution that totally supports and enhances our daily business activities.”
