For many people, the term ‘facilities management’ conjures up the view of a company that just looks after the mechanical and engineering requirements plus a few associated ancillary services on behalf of other organisations. In the case of PrimaTec it means considerably more.

The development and provision of facilities management from a research requirement perspective, and utilisation of considerable experience managing scientific facilities, including direct research involvement in a wide range of scientific disciplines, provides a truly unique facilities management option. This is what PrimaTec has achieved. Providing facilities management from the research requirement perspective is a unique approach developed by PrimaTec.

PrimaTec resources enable all aspects of managing a research facility to be ‘catered’ for, by providing technical and scientific staff requirements, all support services from secretarial, receptionist, cleaners and security resources, through to all buildings services specialists including mechanical engineers, fitters, electricians and environmental controls experts etc.

In today’s environment where security is such an important consideration we have developed methods of facilities management which can offer greater control and peace of mind, from a single facilities management provider.

The collective expertise available at PrimaTec for the management of research facilities and research projects, ensures that the best available knowledge and advice is always at hand. Our philosophy is to develop a mutually beneficial environment, where the synergies of combining our facilities management capabilities with a client’s scientific demands, achieves the research aims sooner, more efficiently and in a reproducible manner.

“the synergies of combining facilities management with scientific demands, in a constructive manner helps develop a mutually beneficial environment”.

The current skills shortage in many technical and scientific disciplines and the nature of many research projects, combined with increasing pressures to improve operational efficiencies, make contract facilities management an extremely viable option for many organisations.

Whereas for large pharmaceutical companies facilities management provides a useful ‘tool’ with which to handle rapid growth, for developing biotechnology companies and small research groups it offers a wider skills base and greater stability, which are so important in achieving optimum results. In addition, the scale of operation that facilities management offers, provides opportunities for considerable cost savings when compared with existing ‘operational overheads’.

The flexible and novel approaches taken by PrimaTec for either full or partial facilities management, when combined with staff development and consumable resource procurement services provide a number of mutual benefits. We would be delighted to discuss and demonstrate how facilities management from PrimaTec can benefit your organisation.
