UK’s MOD awards £155m contract to provide crucial services to armed forces in Gibraltar

LONDON, 07 May 2022, (TON): A press statement issued said “the first of a new suite of contracts to provide key services for the UK Armed Forces on overseas Ministry of Defence bases has been awarded.”

The £155 million contract, which will provide maintenance work, repairs, servicing, and hard facilities management to the MOD’s estate in Gibraltar, has been awarded to Mitie by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation.

It is expected to directly sustain around 200 jobs in Gibraltar.

This is the first contract to be awarded under DIO’s new Overseas Prime Contr-acts programme, which will also see further contracts come into force at Defence sites including Cyprus, Germany, the Falkland Islands and Ascension Island.

The contract is for an initial period of seven years and will come into service in the autumn. The new contracts have been developed taking into account recommendations for improvements to the current arrangements and will mean a better service for military personnel based overseas.
