An expanded assignment within a shared ethical culture
Salvation Army - Sodexo (United Kingdom and Ireland)
Sodexo has been providing Foodservices at Salvation Army social service centers since 1995 and at its Territorial Headquarters (THQ) since 1998. In 2005, the organization decided to widen the scope of already outsourced services to encompass Facilities Management at the THQ and William Booth Memorial College in London. After a trial year, Sodexo won the contract, testifying to a 12-year partnership of trust and common ethical principles.
Combining services with cost-cutting and ethical values
To achieve maximum efficiency and rationalize expenditures at the THQ, which houses administration and central services, the Salvation Army asked Sodexo to determine the feasibility of expanded outsourcing. The one-year trial also involved William Booth Memorial College (WBC), built in 1929 as a home for cadets and their families. Key specifications included optimized service quality, detailed financial and operational information, compliance with health and safety regulations and a matching ethical culture.
A trial year to ensure a successful transition
Sodexo's open, honest relationship with the Salvation Army team, its ethical and environmental approach to service provision and the smooth transition of contract implementation were rewarded by the signing of a five-year contract in July 2006. Within a year, costs were cut by 500,000 pounds sterling. In October, the Salvation Army won an award from the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply for “Best Initiative”, largely due to its work with Sodexo.
