A total of six companies have won a place on the Defence Infrastructure Organisation's (DIO) overseas principal support provider (PSP) framework.

The firms will act as suppliers for the four-year framework, which is valued at £60 million and will deliver multi-disciplinary design and project management services, advisory services, construction technical services, specialist surveys and clerk of the works duties.

Using mini-competitions to select the most appropriate contractor to deliver a project, this will allow departments to share good practice and deliver value for money by ensuring they are all working to the same standards on large overseas projects.

David Graham, Deputy Head of International Projects at the DIO, said: "We are pleased to welcome these suppliers on board following a successful procurement process. We look forward to working with them, the Foreign Office and other areas of government to lead on projects that support our military personnel who live, train and work overseas.

"As the key government departments which manage overseas projects it's essential that we continue to work together to ensure a consistent approach to procurement of project management and other support for our overseas estate."
