MOD announces preferred private sector bidder to join DIO
MOD is a step closer to bringing in a strategic business partner to help improve the running of the 230,000-hectare defence estate.
The Ministry of Defence has announced Capita, working in conjunction with URS and PA Consulting, as its preferred bidder in the competitive procurement of a strategic business partner for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) – the organisation which manages and develops the defence estate.
The 10-year contract, worth around £400 million, will help transform the facilities and services that allow our armed forces to live, work, train and deploy on operations. It also has the potential to deliver substantial savings for the taxpayer, which could reach over £300 million a year during the period of the contract.
