Mace, Turner & Townsend and Atkins (MTA) have been appointed as a technical service provider on the defence estate optimisation framework by the Ministry of Defence<\/h2>\n

The three firms will\u00a0operate as a single, coordinated team. They will support the MoD to develop, construct and integrate solutions in the West of England and Wales region.<\/p>\n

The defence estate optimisation framework<\/a> is the biggest estate change programme within defence.<\/p>\n

It will invest \u00a35.1bn in a better-structured, modern and sustainable estate that improves security, resilience, and military capability.<\/p>\n

Mace will provide design\u00a0assurance and construction management services<\/a> as a sole supplier across the West of England and Wales region.<\/p>\n

Baroness Goldie DL, minister of state for defence in the House of Lords, said: \u201cThe Estate Optimisation portfolio is fundamental to the future of Defence.<\/p>\n

“From service, and family living accommodation, to specialist facilities such as hangars, command headquarters and medical facilities, this is the largest and most ambitious Defence infrastructure investment portfolio that we have as a department.”<\/p>\n
