“This marks an important milestone in the OPC programme, as the first of the new contracts is awarded in Gibraltar.

“This new contract builds on the successes of existing hard facilities management arrangements while taking onboard recommendations for additional services and improvements, which will improve the quality of life for people in Gibraltar. We look forward to working with Mitie to deliver for our Armed Forces overseas.”
