North Ayrshire Council has appointed BAM FM – part of BAM Construct UK – for a three-year contract to maintain and repair heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.


As part of this contract, BAM will be delivering 24/7/365 planned and reactive mobile maintenance service on HVAC equipment to over 200 sites in North Ayrshire, including on the Isles of Arran and Cumbrae. BAM FM will manage properties such as schools, libraries, community halls and sheltered housing.

North Ayrshire Council tendered the contract competitively and drew strong interest from the FM industry.
The appointment means further expansion of BAM’s mobile engineering team in Scotland, with the incoming TUPE transfer of three qualified HVAC engineers.
