STRABAG PFS expands public sector facility management portfolio in North Rhine-Westphalia

STRABAG Property and Facility Services (STRABAG PFS) has secured a new contract from the Construction and Real Estate Management Agency of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (BLB NRW) to provide technical facility management services at two key public buildings: the Bochum correctional facility and the Mont Cenis training academy in Herne.

The agreement marks a further extension of the longstanding cooperation between STRABAG PFS and BLB NRW. Notably, the contract was awarded by the Dortmund branch of BLB NRW, representing its first direct engagement with STRABAG PFS and expanding a regional portfolio that already includes sites in Münster, Duisburg, and Cologne.

In Bochum, STRABAG PFS will manage the prison complex, which comprises 14 operational units over approximately 60,000 square metres. The facility includes detention areas, administrative offices, a gatehouse, and multipurpose buildings, some of which are designated as heritage structures. The contract adds to STRABAG PFS’s experience in managing correctional institutions, building on its work at the Willich facility.

In Herne, the company will oversee technical services at the Mont Cenis academy, a prominent training centre operated by the Ministry of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia. Spanning roughly 10,600 square metres, the academy is known for its distinctive architecture, combining glass and wood elements to create a modern educational environment with flexible event and seminar spaces.

The new contract further strengthens STRABAG PFS’s position in managing training and education infrastructure. In addition to Mont Cenis, the company already provides services for the State Office for Training, Further Education and Personnel Affairs of the North Rhine-Westphalia Police (LAFP) in Münster.

STRABAG PFS was awarded the contract after submitting the top-rated bid in the tender process, reaffirming its reputation as a trusted partner for public-sector facility management and a specialist in complex, security-sensitive environments.
