ABP extends security contract with Mitie until 2025

Mitie and Associated British Ports (ABP) have agreed to extend their initial three-year contract for one additional year with Mitie continuing to provide security services to 17 ports across the United Kingdom until 2025.

The contract extension will see Mitie continue to deliver manned guarding services across ABP sites, supporting the safety of passengers and cargo departing and arriving in the country. Mitie said its highly trained officers are equipped with the latest technology to ensure a safer environment across ABP’s estate.

At most sites, Mitie colleagues control access gate barriers, as well as carry out patrols, vehicle searches, and CCTV monitoring to prevent potential crime or anti-social activity. In addition to this, Mitie’s Customer Service teams working at cruise terminals are responsible for passengers’ safety.

Furthermore, Mitie delivers these services across the country with over 600 individuals operating across 17 ABP facilities, led by the Port of Southampton, Europe’s main cruise turnaround port, which welcomes approximately two million passengers annually.

Andy Billings, Group Head of Security at Associated British Ports, commented, “Safe and secure ports are a critical foundation for ABP’s role as the UK’s leading port operator. Our renewed, enhanced relationship with Mitie builds on the good work done over the previous contract. We also value Mitie’s broader sustainability credentials, given our recently launched Ready for Tomorrow strategy and commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2040 at the latest.”
