It provides integrated facilities services through specialist businesses: ICS Cleaning (https://ics-cleaning.com/) for commercial and education cleaning, SPS Security (https://sps-security.com/) for guarding, patrols, keyholding and alarm response, SPS Technical (https://sps-technical.com/) and TESS (https://t-e-s-s.co.uk/) for fire alarm, CCTV, access control and intruder systems, ICS Maintenance for PAT testing and machinery repairs, and SPS Academy for accredited training. Each service has a dedicated specialist manager, and integrated contracts are overseen by a senior management team. Clean · Protect · Detect · Maintain · Train ## Five specialist capabilities, brought together by the sixth: Integrate Integrate is what joins them up: one contract or separate lots, a specialist manager for every service, and one senior team as your single point of contact.

One senior team over the whole site. Many facilities contracts put one general manager in charge of everything. We don't. Every service keeps its own dedicated specialist manager, and a senior management team oversees the whole contract, so you get expert delivery and one point of contact. Senior management team Knows your whole site. Your point of contact and escalation across every service, coordinating the specialists, leading mobilisation and running joint contract reviews. ICS Cleaning Cleaning manager Runs your cleaning teams, schedules, audits and specialist cleans. SPS Security Security manager Runs officers, patrols, keyholding and response with the control room. SPS Technical Technical manager Runs servicing, repairs, monitoring and system projects with our engineers. Shared across every service 24-hour control room Alarms, monitoring, fault reporting and out-of-hours response Coordinated schedules Open-up, cleaning, maintenance and lock-up planned together Shared fault reporting Issues spotted by one team go straight to the right specialist One training standard Teams trained through SPS Academy OneView reporting One combined report, or reports for each service Joint contract reviews The senior team and specialist managers review every service together Choose how you work with us ## From one service to your whole site Start here Single service One SPS business delivering one service, with its own specialist manager and accreditations. - Dedicated specialist manager - Accredited, directly employed team - Add other services whenever you need them Most popular Combined services Two or more SPS businesses on the same site, coordinated by the group. - A specialist manager for each service - Schedules planned together, such as open-up, cleaning and lock-up - Faults spotted by one team passed straight to the right specialist Whole-site Integrated contract Your site's soft FM and security services managed as one contract, with senior oversight. - Everything in combined services - Senior management team overseeing the whole site - One point of contact and escalation across every service - Joint contract reviews and one mobilisation plan - Combined OneView reporting across services, plus individual service reports - An annual contract report covering every service, if you want one - Tailored to exactly what your sites need - Priced as one contract or by lot Why the specialist model ## How we compare with a typical outsourced FM contract Typical outsourced FM SPS Group Who delivers the work Often a mix of own staff and subcontractors, sometimes with a markup Our own specialist businesses, with directly employed front-line teams Who manages each service One general manager stretched across every discipline A dedicated specialist manager for each service, plus senior oversight of the whole site Accreditations One company trying to cover every standard Each business holds its own: SIA Approved Contractor, BAFE, SSAIB, BICSc, ISO 9001 and 14001 Pricing Bundled, so it is hard to see what each service costs One combined proposal, with each business quoting and invoicing its own service openly, as one contract or by lot Local presence National structure, with regional performance hard to see Offices in Hull, Grimsby and Lincoln, and our own 24-hour control room Flexibility Long, rigid contracts Start with one service and add others when you are ready Cost and best value ## How combining services reduces cost Best value is not the cheapest hourly rate. It is the right level of service, delivered in the right way, with the right mix of people, technology, monitoring and response, designed across your whole site rather than one contract at a time. The right cover, not the most cover Static guarding blended with mobile patrols, open-up and lock-up, keyholding and monitored CCTV, so you pay for officers where risk needs them and technology covers quieter hours. Fewer false alarms and call-outs Systems maintained by SPS Technical and monitored by our own control room are checked before anyone is sent, cutting wasted call-outs, lost trading time and fire service charges. Teams already on site Cleaners and officers report faults as they find them, so problems are fixed early and engineer visits are combined with planned maintenance. Less time managing contractors One procurement process, one mobilisation and one senior team to talk to, instead of chasing several unconnected suppliers. Labour matched to need Cleaning hours set against recognised BICSc productivity benchmarks and how your building is actually used. Equipment that lasts longer Planned servicing, in-house repairs and PAT testing reduce breakdowns and extend the life of machines and equipment. Savings depend on your sites, risks and current arrangements. A site review shows where they are realistic before you commit to anything. Day to day ## How the services work together on site SPS Technical SPS Security Alarm to response An alarm signals our own 24-hour control room, which checks CCTV and sends an SPS Security keyholder. No hand-offs between unconnected companies. ICS Cleaning SPS Technical Eyes on site every day Cleaners notice a faulty door, a damaged camera or a fire panel fault and report it, so SPS Technical can attend, often alongside routine maintenance. SPS Security ICS Cleaning Open-up, clean, lock-up Officers open the building, cleaners work to the same timetable, and the site is locked and alarmed by the same group at the end of the day. ICS Maintenance ICS Cleaning Kit that keeps working ICS Maintenance services cleaning machinery and PAT tests portable equipment, so your site and ours run on safe, working kit. SPS Academy SPS Security Trained to one standard SPS Academy trains our officers, cleaners and supervisors, and opens the same courses to your staff. SPS Security ICS Cleaning Empty to ready to re-let Inspections, keyholding and rapid-deploy CCTV while a building is empty, then a deep clean before it is handed back. Our experience ## Integrated since 1995 Integration is how the group began. SPS started in Hull in 1992 with patrols, keyholding and alarm response. Clients who trusted us with their security asked for the same reliability in their cleaning, so in 1995 we formed ICS Cleaning. Fire and security systems, TESS, maintenance and training followed for the same reason. Our first university contract, won in 2000, is still running more than 25 years later. 95%+ of services delivered by our own people 22,000+ cleaning and guarding hours every week 1,750+ fire and security systems maintained 2,850+ scheduled service visits a year 500+ keyholding contracts 98% of security officers directly employed By sector ## How integration works in your sector Image: Education (https://spsgroupservices.com/img/sectors/ics-classroom.webp) Education ICS Cleaning SPS Security SPS Technical SPS Academy **How it works together:** Term-time and holiday cleaning, open-up and lock-up, alarm response, and school fire alarm, CCTV and access control, with DBS-checked staff. **Where it saves:** Holiday deep cleans and system maintenance scheduled together while buildings are empty, and trust-wide specifications across every school. **Experience:** ICS Cleaning alone cleans more than 100 education sites, alongside security and fire and security systems for schools, multi-academy trusts, colleges and universities.

SPS Group provides them through specialist businesses: ICS Cleaning, SPS Security, SPS Technical and TESS, ICS Maintenance and SPS Academy, across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. How is SPS Group different from a typical facilities management company?▾ Each of our services is delivered by its own specialist, accredited business with directly employed teams and a dedicated manager who knows that service inside out. On integrated contracts, a senior management team oversees the whole site and is your point of contact across every service. You get specialist delivery without managing several unconnected contractors. Who is my point of contact on an integrated contract?▾ Each service has its own dedicated specialist manager for day-to-day delivery, and a senior management team oversees the whole contract. They know your entire site, coordinate between the services and are your single point of contact and escalation. Is SPS Group a facilities management company?▾ SPS Group provides the soft FM and security side of facilities management: cleaning, security guarding, patrols, keyholding and alarm response, fire alarm, CCTV, access control and intruder systems, PAT testing and machinery repairs, and accredited training. How can combining services reduce costs?▾ Combining services lets the whole mix be designed together: patrols, lock-up and monitored CCTV can replace some static guarding, our own control room verifies alarms before sending anyone, teams already on site report faults early, and you manage one relationship instead of several. Savings depend on each site, so we start with a site review. How do reporting and invoicing work across several services?▾ Our OneView platform can give you one combined report across every service, individual reports for each service, and an annual report covering everything. We tailor reporting to what you need. Each service is quoted and invoiced by the specialist business that delivers it, within one combined proposal, so you can see exactly what each service costs. Do I have to use more than one SPS Group business?▾ No. You can use one service and add others later. Many clients start with one, such as cleaning or keyholding, and add more once they have seen how we work. Can you bid for integrated contracts and individual lots?▾ Yes. We can price cleaning, security and fire and security systems as one integrated contract or as separate lots, to suit your procurement route. Each service is contracted with the business that delivers it. Can clients use SPS Academy training courses?▾ Yes. SPS Academy, the group training centre and a Highfield approved centre, opens its SIA licence, first aid, IOSH, manual handling and cleaning skills courses to existing clients, new clients and other organisations. Call 01482 226570 to book. Can ICS Maintenance repair our cleaning machines or PAT test our equipment?▾ Yes. ICS Maintenance repairs and services cleaning machinery and carries out PAT testing of portable electrical equipment, for SPS Group clients and other businesses. Call 01482 226570 to book. Where does SPS Group work?▾ Across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, including Hull and East Yorkshire, Leeds, York, Sheffield, Doncaster, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Lincoln, from offices in Hull, Grimsby and Lincoln. How do I start?▾ Call our Hull office on 01482 226570 and tell us which services and sites you need. We will arrange a site review. If you only need one service, you can go straight to that business's website for a quote.
