WYG has been appointed to a framework agreement with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) which covers a broad range of technical and advisory services.

The Principal Support Provider framework for Construction Design and Project Management Services in the UK and overseas will be used by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to procure efficient, cost-effective, high quality technical and advisory services to optimise the use of the MoD's 230,000 hectare estate - some 1% of the UK landmass with built assets of c.73,000 hectares - valued at around £27bn.

DIO is the MoD's property and services provider, playing a vital role in supporting the armed forces by building, maintaining and servicing what our country's service personnel need to live, work, train and deploy on operations. WYG will help the DIO to deliver an effective estate for the British military capability based on whole life value, collaborative partnering, flexibility, coherent information and sustainable solutions.

Under the framework agreement, WYG will support the delivery of a variety of facilities including storage depots, laboratories, barracks, dockyards, airfields, fuel stores, communication centres, training, medical and leisure facilities. The PSP framework will be used by all future projects procured by DIO, in addition to the Regular Army Basing programme which WYG is already working on.
