MoD Awards £50m Armoured Vehicle Support Contract
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded BAE Systems a £50 million contract to support the British Army’s armoured tracked vehicle fleet
The contract covers a variety of design services, such as safety advice and elements of operational effectiveness for a wide range of armoured vehicles in the fleet, including light, medium and heavy classes.
The five-year contract will also safeguard 100 jobs, according to the MoD.
“This contract helps ensure that we sustain a battle-winning Armoured Vehicle Fleet and represents an important investment in armoured vehicle capability within the UK defence supply chain that safeguards UK engineering jobs,” said Philip Dunne MP, Minister for Defence Equipment.
The MoD added that the combination of the new deal along with a number of existing support contracts would improve efficiency and save taxpayers money.
