Sodexo awarded a significant contract with Santos, cementing its market-leading position in Australia’s energy and resources sector
The contract will support over 500 jobs at Sodexo while benefiting businesses and local communities across Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia
Integrated Food and Facilities Management services provider Sodexo Australia (Sodexo) has been awarded a large five-year contract with Santos, cementing its market-leading position in the energy and resources sector, Australia-wide.
This new contract will significantly increase Sodexo’s business in Australia and enhance its geographical footprint. Under this contract, Sodexo will provide services across Santos’ operations from Gladstone and the Surat Basin region in Queensland to the Cooper Basin in South Australia and Varanus Island in Western Australia.
Over the past four years, as part of its active portfolio management strategy, Sodexo has continually honed its offering in the Australian energy and resources sector.
Sodexo Australia Managing Director Keith Weston said:
We thank Santos for selecting Sodexo as their partner for the future. For over 25 years we have serviced the Australian energy and resources sector with a spirit of innovation and exceptional service.
This award follows from a strong period of contract growth for Sodexo, further expands our presence in Australia’s eastern states, and highlights our unwavering commitment to the industry.
The contract between Sodexo and Santos includes the provision of accommodation management, housekeeping, catering and hospitality, aerodrome management, facilities maintenance and health & wellness services for 25 camps, 3,500 rooms and an average occupancy of 2,000 residents.
The contract’s scope will support more than 500 jobs at Sodexo, offering a valuable opportunity for people, as well as adjacent businesses across Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, delivering lasting benefits to the communities in these regions.
The mobilisation of this contract involves the transition of 25 camps to Sodexo. The process began in December with the handover of Varanus Island and Devil Creek camps in Western Australia.
On the East Coast, phased mobilisations have already started with Singers camp, where the first meal was served on 22 February. All camps and services are expected to be mobilised by June 2025.
