A Joint Venture between Carillion and Amey (67:33) has been awarded the National Prime Housing contract that is estimated by MoD to be worth in the order of £625 million over the initial five-year contract period, which can be extended by a further five years subject to approval.

Under this contract the Joint Venture will provide a wide range of hard facilities management services, including routine maintenance, occupancy management, furniture installation, energy efficiency services, statutory inspections and improvements for more than 49,000 military homes throughout the UK. This enlarged contract replaces the contract currently held by a Carillion and Amey Joint Venture under which it delivers similar services for military houses in England and Wales.

A Carillion and Amey (50:50) Joint Venture has been awarded the Scotland and Northern Ireland Regional Prime contract that is estimated by MoD to be worth in the order of £150 million over the initial contract period of five years, which can be extended by a further five years, subject to approval.

Under this contract, the Joint Venture will provide a wide range of hard facilities and asset management services across 30 key sites including RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leuchars, Kinloss Barracks, HMS Caledonia and Kentigern House in Scotland, and Aldergrove Airfield, Thiepval Barracks and Kinnegar Logistics Base in Northern Ireland, together with the provision of new buildings. Hard facilities management services will include planned and reactive building fabric and mechanical and electrical engineering maintenance, together with utility efficiency services. The service delivery model has also been designed to support the UK Government's objective of encouraging the use of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.

Both Carillion and Amey will also use these new contracts to create further opportunities to demonstrate their commitment to the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant, which helps ex-service personnel find employment and supports the provision of Reservists.

Carillion Chief Executive, Richard Howson, said: "We are delighted that our Joint Ventures have been selected for these major contracts. We look forward to building on the strong relationship we have developed with Defence Infrastructure Organisation and to working closely with DIO to deliver further improvements to the quality and energy efficiency of the Defence estate.

"DIO set industry the challenge of providing added value to the military estate and the offers we submitted have been recognised as generating demonstrable benefits in this regard, including the use of market leading customer feedback systems."
