The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has extended Amey's Next Generation Estates contracts (NGEC).

These contracts provide critical response maintenance, estate compliance and project investment for all Defence technical estate assets under the four Regional Prime contracts and 49,500 houses under the National Housing Prime Contract.

CarillionAmey originally acquired the contracts in 2015, with Amey taking control of managing all the contracts after Carillion's liquidation last year. The firm has increased levels of performance delivery over the last 12 months, particularly in relation to delivery of the response maintenance service, customer satisfaction and investment in the Defence estate.

Amey's work with DIO and Front Line Commands to deliver record levels of project work across the national Defence estate has been recognised with an 13-24 month extension.

Andy Milner, Amey's Chief Executive said: "Confirmation of the option to extend these contracts from DIO will enable us now to build on the hard work of the Amey team and our dedicated supply chain to continue to support the MOD, Service personnel and their families. We have seen real progress on delivery in the last 12 months and I look forward to working with DIO and the Front Line Commands over the duration of the extended contracts."

Jacqui Rock, DIO's Commercial Director, added: "Extending these contracts allows us to provide an uninterrupted service to our customers while we continue work to implement a new framework of contracts under our Future Defence Infrastructure Services programme. These contracts cover a huge range of activity, from technical facilities to homes, and the extensions mean Armed Forces personnel and their families will have continuity of service both at work and at home until the future contracts are delivered."
