DP WORLD, the smart logistics solutions provider, has renewed its security contract with Mitie for a further two years. The contract extension will see Mitie continue to provide essential security services for DP World at the Southampton deep-sea container terminal in full compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and the conditions laid down by the Maritime Security Division of the Department for Transport.
As part of the contract, Mitie will continue to provide a range of security services including security personnel, vehicle and personnel security checks, visitor authorisation, intelligence reporting and crime prevention.
This contract extension demonstrates continued confidence in Mitie’s ability to ensure the security of DP World’s Southampton logistics hub. During the existing contract, Mitie’s proactive and responsive site operations have continued to identify areas for improvement, all the while developing action plans and implementing positive change specifically designed to enhance services across the facility.
The new DP World contract follows a succession of customer contract renewals for Mitie, with the company having also recently announced the extension of its security services deployment on behalf of long-time customer Eurostar.
Jason Towse, managing director for business services at Mitie, explained: “As the leading service provider in this sector, we’re delighted to continue working with DP World. The extension of this contract is testament to the strong partnership that we have built together over the last 11 years. We’re proud to continue providing our intelligence-led services to ensure safety and security at what is such a vital international trading terminal.”
