Serco has been awarded a new five-year contract worth approximately £7.8 million by the Ministry of Defence to deliver maintenance and logistics services for EJ200 engines that power the Royal Air Force’s Typhoon aircraft.
Previously subcontracted through Rolls-Royce, Serco will now work directly with Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) to provide services at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire and RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.
Doug Umbers, Serco’s Managing Director of Defence, said: “The award of this contract is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our engineering teams, and a strategic step forward as we continue to strengthen our capabilities in maintenance and logistics. I’d like to personally thank everyone involved in the bid process whose hard work has made this possible.
The company stated that this new arrangement strengthens its position as a long-term partner in military aviation support.
