Global real estate and facility management services provider BGIS has announced that it will no longer be taking over contracts from Carillion.
Originally, the firm had announced that it had entered an agreement that would see BGIS take over facilities management contracts, including those in schools.
However, the firm has since announced that its agreement to acquire a portfolio of Carillon contracts in the UK will not be proceeding as “certain closing conditions have not been met”.
Gord Hicks, chief executive officer, BGIS, said: “While we are disappointed at this outcome, we are continuing to pursue opportunities to grow our global business into the UK. and welcome continued dialogue with prospective customers as we build out our platform for future growth opportunities.”
