BAM FM bags North Ayrshire contract

UK: Glasgow-based BAM FM has been awarded a three-year contract by North Ayrshire Council to maintain and repair heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

As part of the contract, BAM will be delivering 24/7/365 planned and reactive mobile maintenance service on HVAC equipment to over 200 sites in North Ayrshire, including on the Isles of Arran and Cumbrae. BAM FM will manage properties such as schools, libraries, community halls and sheltered housing.

The appointment means further expansion of BAM’s mobile engineering team in Scotland, with the incoming TUPE transfer of three qualified HVAC engineers.

Established in 1998, BAM FM has expanded to cover a diverse range of sectors throughout the UK including education, commercial office, retail, shopping centres, healthcare and sports stadia.

In Scotland, BAM delivers FM services to sites up and down the country, from Aberdeen and Inverness in the north, to Dumfries and the Borders in the south.

The company’s turnover has grown organically from around £20m 10 years ago to over £60m in 2019.
