Babcock International Group PLC (Babcock), the UK's leading
engineering support services company, has been awarded a new
contract by Defence Estates to provide facilities management (FM)
services at British Forces bases across Germany.
The five-year contract, valued at c €200 million (c £170
million), will see Babcock deliver planned and reactive building
maintenance, grounds maintenance and minor new works to support the
British Forces' buildings, assets and estate at 12 stations,
predominantly in the German states of Lower Saxony and North
Rhine-Westphalia. Mobilisation of the contract will start
immediately, with service delivery starting in August 2011.
This the first time that Defence Estates has outsourced a major
facilities management contract in Germany to a private sector
partner. Babcock has worked closely with Defence Estates to develop
a cost-effective and flexible solution, capable of evolving in
response to the significant changes planned to the MoD footprint as
service personnel return to the UK.
Peter Rogers, Group Chief Executive commented
"I am delighted we have been awarded this major facilities
management contract, the first that Defence Estates has outsourced
in Germany. Building on our track record of high quality delivery
of two Regional Prime contracts for Defence Estates in the UK, we
have worked closely with them to develop the cost-efficient and
flexible solution they require.
Babcock is looking forward to working closely with Defence Estates
and all those involved with the current service delivery in
Germany."
