CBRE secures new contract with East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT)

CBRE Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) has secured a contract with East London NHS Foundation Trust (ELFT), a leading mental health and community health services provider serving over 1.8 million people. The new agreement will see CBRE deliver hard facilities management services across more than 130 sites, working alongside ELFT to enhance their estate and services.

ELFT is a recognised leader in mental health and community healthcare, having recently achieved its third consecutive ‘Outstanding’ rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Working in partnership, CBRE will support ELFT in further enhancing its services, ensuring safe and secure spaces across all facilities and improving experiences for service users and staff.

CBRE’s services are underpinned by its industry-leading technology stack, which will enable ELFT to access greater insight into the performance of its assets and facilities. The bespoke solution includes a dedicated Service Performance Manager who will leverage cutting-edge AI to analyse facilities data from across the complete estate.

In addition, CBRE will integrate social value into its services, prioritising local suppliers, partnering with schools, and employing early-career apprentice engineers, amongst other initiatives.

David Stevens, Director of Estates, Facilities & Capital Development at ELFT, said: “We are excited to be partnering with CBRE to improve the delivery of hard services across our estate. This collaboration will be transformational for the Trust, enabling us to enhance our facilities for patients and staff across ELFT, while also continuing to support our local communities.”

Wayne Goldsmith, Managing Director, Health & Care Division at CBRE, said:

“We’re proud to partner with ELFT on this transformational journey. Together, we will create and maintain environments that support the Trust’s vision to promote healthy lives for all.”
