Sodexo has secured catering contract extensions from entities including the government and police authorities in the UK and Ireland.

The contracts have a combined value of £34m ($42.7m).

Under the Transport for London contract, Sodexo’s team will continue to provide catering services to employees of the London Underground, the British Transport Police, the Metropolitan Police and London’s bus drivers up to 2025.

The team will provide catering services from 7am to 11pm year-round.

Following a one-year extension to Sodexo's FM services contract [commercial services contract arrangement] for 48 sites, including ten of HMRC [His Majesty's Revenue and Customs]'s 14 regional centres, more than 550 employees will continue to support the HMRC contract.

Sodexo has also received a two-year contract extension from Avon and Somerset Police.

Since 2012, Sodexo’s team has been offering more than 70 essential services to more than 3,000 police officers and personnel across 54 police stations and sites within South Gloucestershire, Bristol, Bath and Somerset.

It has also been offering a range of services such as catering and hospitality services, cleaning and specialist cleaning services.

The company has received contract extensions from its clients in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Sodexo UK and Ireland government CEO Paul Anstey stated: “Our teams are focused on delivering excellence every day, working in partnership with client teams to provide workplaces that are well-run, efficient and encourage productivity in an environment that continues to evolve.

“At Sodexo we understand what it takes to create workplace experiences that both inspire and enable our clients to focus on their core roles.

“As a trusted partner to government, we look forward to continuing to provide services that support the delivery of public services and government priorities.”

In December 2023, Independents by Sodexo, the school catering arm of Sodexo, received an additional five-year catering contract in the UK from Reed’s School in Cobham, Surrey.

Sodexo has been offering catering and hospitality services at the school for more than 50 years.
