Mitie‘s document management business has been awarded a five-year document management and logistics services contract with The Law Society following a competitive tender process. This is the first time the professional body has outsourced these services, which were previously delivered in-house.

The FM group has been appointed to transform service provision by digitally enabling the provision of mail room management, porterage, reprographics, scanning, records management, and purchasing services. These will be delivered using a fully integrated solution aligned to The Law Society’s WorkSmart project, which is focused on modernisation by bringing people, processes and technology together.

Tom Booton, Head of Corporate Real Estate, The Law Society, said: "The Society conducted a very detailed and competitive tender involving leading specialists from the document management sector. Mitie offered a great level of expertise, technology and really understood our needs which set them apart.  We look forward to welcoming them as a supply chain partner at The Law Society."
