asked whether Khidmah would tailor its services differently from those offered at the Abu Dhabi ADACH sites, Brad Robbins, director services, said: "the Al Ain sites are more heritage related and of historic value and serve different purposes to the community. They are exclusive sites and need a different skill set to maintain."

The contract will see Khidmah deliver MEP services, civil maintenance, landscaping services, cleaning, pest control, security services along with hospitality services. Robbins added that there were plans to implement a number of sustainability initiatives on the project, particularly because a lot of the buildings were e built recently and with many sustainable functions in place. Khidmah will mobilise 96 staff to the project from December 2011, Security services will also be provided through an outsourced specialised company.
