The Directors of Reliance are pleased to announce that Reliance Secure Task Management Limited (“RSTM”), a wholly-owned operating company, has been awarded, as part of a consortium, a 25 year Private Finance Initiative (“PFI”) contract for Cleveland Police Authority. This follows its appointment as preferred bidder for the contract, which was announced on 4 October 2004.

The project involves the financing, design and construction of two custody centres, two divisional headquarters and two town centre police stations. RSTM will provide a comprehensive range of support services, starting towards the end of 2006, including building, utilities and asset management; security services and health & safety management; laundry and waste management; grounds maintenance and pest control; storage and handling of video and audio tapes; the handling of stray dogs and the provision of a help desk. It is estimated that the 25-year support services contract will generate turnover for RSTM of £1.3 million in a full year.

Ray Masters, Managing Director of RSTM, stated: “We are delighted to have secured this contract with Cleveland Police Authority. It emphasises our specialist expertise and capabilities in the provision of facilities management and business process outsourcing services to the criminal justice sector. Our partnership approach, which is directed at offering change management, innovative business processes and high levels of service, enables our customers to achieve greater streamlining and efficiencies in their non-core support operations as well as better use of their material resources and highly trained people.”
