Finning’s support agreement with Serco
Finning Power Systems, the UK’s sole supplier of Caterpillar engines has signed an exclusive £2.5m, five year agreement with Serco, the international service company.
It calls for Finning to provide product support for all of Serco’s UK and Ireland marine operations as well as all land based generator sets located at over 400 facilities nationwide.
Finning has been providing engine support to Serco for the past year on its ‘Future Provision of Maritime Services contract (FMPS)’, a contract awarded to Serco by the UK Ministry of Defence for the provision of marine services at UK Royal Navy bases. However, this is the first time that Serco has sub-contracted all of its engine support requirements to a single provider.
The contract comprises all of Serco’s marine operations, including 54 vessels on the FMPS contract and the Northlink ferry line in Scotland.
