UK Facilities Management Market Analysis: May 2024 Contract Awards & Sector Trends
In May 2024, the UK facilities management sector witnessed significant activity, with over 40 contract awards across various categories, including Hard, Soft, and Integrated FM services. The total value of these contracts exceeded £500 million, indicating robust demand for outsourced FM services.

- May 2023: £450 million in contract awards
- May 2022: £420 million in contract awards
