ISS A/S : Singapore wins three-year contract with Sengkang hospitals

Sengkang General Hospital and Sengkang Community Hospital, currently under construction, will be serviced by ISS Singapore under a new three year contract with an extension opportunity of one year. The contract will cover housekeeping services for the in-patient area, outpatient area and all major operating theatres, including bed making/cleaning and outpatient areas, major operating theatres (interim cleaning in between cases and end of day thorough cleaning), terminal cleaning, waste handling within hospital, supplies of toiletries and washroom amenities, curtain changing, linen management and event support. When fully operational 540 full-time equivalent ISS-employees will be working on the contract.

ISS Singapore will commence post construction cleaning in Q3 2017 and will ramp up progressively as the hospitals become operational. Once fully operational by 2020, the combined Sengkang Hospitals will be among the largest regional hospitals in Singapore with a total of 1,400 beds.

Kelvin EYU, Country COO of ISS Singapore:

'This win is extremely gratifying to our healthcare team. It is a testament to our position as the leading facility services provider in Singapore's healthcare segment. Now the hard work begins to deliver our high quality services as promised to the client.'

The new contract builds on an existing relationship wherein ISS Singapore currently supplies pest control and landscaping services to Sengkang Health Pte Ltds' temporary hospital.
