Interserve has secured a £230 million contract from the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) to provide maintenance services for the United States Air Force's (USAF) bases in the UK.

The five-year United States Forces Prime (USFP) deal combines four existing facilities support contracts covering six USAF UK bases along with their additional satellite sites.

Interserve will provide both total facilities management and engineering services maintenance for three operational wings of the USAF: 48th Fighter Wing, 100th Air Refuelling Wing and 501st Combat Support Wing.

The contract will begin in November 2016.

Adrian Ringrose, chief executive of Interserve, said: "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.

"We look forward to expanding our longstanding partnership with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation and to building a strong relationship with the US Air Force."
