LONDON (Alliance News) - Interserve PLC on Monday said it has been awarded a five-year contract with the Ministry of Defence's Defence Infrastructure Organisation operating arm worth GBP230.0 million.
The support service and construction company said under the contract it will be providing facilities services to the six US Air Force bases in the UK and their associated satellite services, combining four existing facilities support contracts.
Many of the sites have outsourced support services previously and Interserve said the amalgamation of the contracts should drive greater efficiencies, allow flexibility to accommodate changes in estate requirements and funding in the future.
Interserve will provide a combination of total facilities management and engineering services maintenance for three operational wings of the US Air Force, being the 48th fighter wing, the 100th air refueling wing and the 501st combat support wing.
The five-year partnership is to begin in November 2016.
"Bringing the United States Air Force's facilities management under a single arrangement is a significant undertaking, but one which will undoubtedly deliver real synergies and greater flexibility for our client," said Interserve Chief Executive Adrian Ringrose.
