Cushman & Wakefield has renewed and expanded its Integrated Facilities Management partnership with SA Water.
Following a bidding process that began in January this year, the firm secured the latest contract, which makes it the exclusive facilities management provider across 603 SA Water sites.
It builds on a 17-year relationship between the two entities for an initial term of five years, with options for up to five additional years.
Over more than a decade-and-a-half, Cushman & Wakefield has grown its operations from managing a single site under a shared contract to becoming the sole provider for SA Water’s extensive portfolio.
The new contract allows for direct service delivery by Cushman & Wakefield’s local trades team across electrical, mechanical and plumbing disciplines.
Transition activities will commence immediately, with full operational go-live scheduled for 1 February 2026.
“Becoming the exclusive provider across 603 sites allows us to deliver direct service through our local trades team and deliver additional services through our Project & Development team,” Cam Griffin, regional director IFM at Cushman & Wakefield, says.
In separate developments, water, energy and waste recycling services provider Veolia Australia was recently awarded two water management contracts, and had a third one extended. Together, the three deals were worth $700 million.
Central Highlands Water signed a 15-year contract with Veolia for six water treatment plants across the region. Hunter Water also engaged Veolia for a further 10 years to manage all its treatment facilities. Veolia is also tasked with installing 2500 solar panels for Seqwater, which will produce 2.32 GWh of emissions-free energy.
