WYG chosen for framework agreement to work with the MOD

WYG said the agreement will be used to procure efficient, cost-effective, high quality technical and advisory services to optimise the use of the MoD’s 230,000 hectare estate.

This estate covers one per cent of the UK’s landmass with built assets of 73,000 hectares and is​ valued at around £27bn.

The agreement will support the armed forces by building, maintaining and servicing areas where service personnel need to live, work, train and deploy on operations.

WYG said it will help the Government to deliver an effective estate for the British military.

Under the framework agreement, WYG will support the delivery of a variety of facilities including storage depots, laboratories, barracks, dockyards, airfields, fuel stores, communication centres, training, medical and leisure facilities.

The framework will be used by all future projects, in addition to the Regular Army Basing programme which WYG is already working on. WYG’s CEO Paul Hamer said: ”As a long-term framework consultant to the MoD we are delighted to have secured a place on the PSP framework.

“Since March 2011 we have been working on the Regular Army Basing Programme: first assessing the capacity of the defence estate to absorb the return of all 20,000 British troops from Germany and now advising on implementing the extensive changes required to ensure that this happens smoothly and cost-effectively by 2020.”
