The Defence Soft Facilities Management (Def SFM) Programme
The Defence Soft Facilities Management Programme will deliver a core set of standardised Soft FM contracts across six UK regions. They will replace the Hestia contracts to provide vital services such as catering, retail, cleaning, and waste to Defence sites to support Defence outputs and the welfare of service personnel.
Private Finance Initiative (PFI) Replacement Programme Phase Two – Aquatrine Reprovisioning
The PFI Replacement Programme is a four-phase programme considering the future commercial arrangements for service provision, following the expiry of each of DIO’s twelve infrastructure and utility PFIs.
Phase Two considers the reprovision of three Aquatrine PFI contracts. Aquatrine is the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) Great Britain-wide water and wastewater Public Private Partnership project and one of the largest water and wastewater PFIs in Europe.
Private Finance Initiative (PFI) Replacement Programme Phase Three
Phase Three of the PFI Replacement Programme will consider how best to deliver Facilities Management (FM) successor arrangements to several flag-ship establishments integral to the MODs core outputs. The establishments currently in scope are Defence Academy Shrivenham, MOD Main Building, Northwood Headquarters, MOD Corsham, and Devonport Naval Base (Armada).
