Iron Mountain Named Preferred Supplier Within UK Government

Iron Mountain (UK) Ltd. has been named as a
preferred supplier within the Government’s new £200 million document management
framework, a category that includes records storage, digitisation and
shredding.

It is the sole supplier recommended by the Government Procurement
Service for the provision of offsite information management services, which
comprise around 40% of the framework value.

"The Government
Procurement Service are delighted to welcome Iron Mountain onto the new
Document Storage and Related Services Framework," said Liz Baldwin,
GPS category lead for document management. "Iron Mountain were chosen because of their demonstrated experience in
managing and safeguarding public sector records, their quality and range of
services and their stated on-going commitment to security and innovation. This
Framework gives Iron Mountain a real opportunity to deliver savings to both
central government and the wider public sector."

The new Document Storage and Related Services Framework (GPS ref:
RM1689) has been created as part of the Government’s pledge to deliver
efficient and more effective procurement. Iron Mountain’s portfolio of services
will be available to all central and local government, the NHS, educational
institutions, the emergency services and many other public sector bodies across
the UK.

"We are committed to
helping the Government better use information and save money in the process,"
said Simon Duddy, commercial director (public sector) at Iron Mountain. "We have an established record of working
with central government, local authorities and NHS Trusts to develop and
deliver world class services across the public sector. We will build on this
experience to provide our public sector customers with new services and
innovations to meet their fast-changing information needs, while delivering
clear cost savings."
