Serco Group plc (Serco), the international service company,
announces that it has been awarded a number of contracts
providing a range of operational support, engineering and
training services, known as Multi-Activity Contracts (MACs).
The contracts to the UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) and Naval Air
Command have a combined total potential value to Serco of
£130m.
Serco has successfully rebid its RAF Northolt MAC, providing
aviation and engineering facilities and logistics support at
this major RAF airport, including maintenance and associated
support of 32 (The Royal) Squadron, and at various satellite
stations in and around London. The contract commences in
April 2012, is for a three- year period with options to
extend by up to a further four years and would have a total
value to Serco of approximately £70m over the full seven
years.
The provision of aviation and engineering facilities and
aircraft support at Royal Navy Air Stations (RNAS) Yeovilton
and Culdrose, together with various satellite stations, has
also been successfully rebid. This complements our
maintenance and support services currently provided under a
separate contract to the Merlin helicopter fleet at RNAS
Culdrose, which was recently awarded a Commander-in-Chief
Fleet's Commendation for outstanding support to flying
training. The new contract commences in April 2012, is for
a
three-year period with two option years and would have a
total value to Serco of approximately £40m over the full five
years.
A new MAC was also won in November 2011 for RAF Valley on the
Isle of Anglesey, North Wales, which will support their
crucial role in training fast jet pilots for both the RAF and
the Royal Navy. RAF Valley is also home to the life-saving UK
military Search and Rescue Force headquarters, search and
rescue training, and the RAF Mountain Rescue Service. The
five-year contract commences in April 2012 and has a total
value to Serco of over £20m.
Christopher Hyman, Chief Executive of Serco Group, said: "We
are delighted that the Ministry of Defence has selected us to
extend our operational support to cover 29 UK military bases,
with services ranging from
aircraft engineering through training to asset and
infrastructure management. These contract awards demonstrate
our ongoing commitment to enable affordable defence
capability around the world."
