Serco wins Goose Bay re-bid
Serco Group plc ('Serco') has been selected by the Canadian Department of
National Defence ('DND') to provide site support services at Canadian Forces
Base, Goose Bay, Labrador for a second term. This 11-year contract is worth
approximately C$40 million annually and is the cornerstone of Serco's Canadian
operations. The new contract will immediately follow on from the current 5-year
contract and will commence on Ist April, 2003.
Under the terms of the new, expanded contract Serco will provide all base
operation services required by DND at the Goose Bay flight training base,
catering to the air forces from the UK, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands. In
addition to the existing services provided at the base, the contract has been
expanded in scope to cover the transfer of the DND's current vehicle fleet to
Serco including snow clearing vehicles and other emergency equipment.
Christopher Hyman, Serco Group's Chief Executive said:
'We are delighted to have won this important re-bid, which extends our
relationship with DND and allows us to continue delivering the high quality and
innovative services that our customer has come to expect.
Serco's rebid success rate of over 90% clearly demonstrates that the
partnership approach to delivery is very much appreciated by our customers. We
will look forward to working with DND to ensure that the high standards that
won us this re-bid are maintained and built upon during the life of the new
contract.'
