contracts with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/organisations\/defence-infrastructure-organisation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defence Infrastructure Organisation<\/a> (DIO) to maintain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/defence-infrastructure-organisation-service-family-accommodation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Service Family Accommodation<\/a> (SFA) across its Central and Northern regions<\/h2>\n<p>The defence housing contracts, which fall under the Regional Accommodation Maintenance Services (RAMS) element of the Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS), will run for seven years with an option to extend for an additional three.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the core services, which include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/mod-maintenance-contracts\/95216\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">housing maintenance<\/a>, the contracts will deliver improvement projects and refurbishment work to approximately 25,000 properties.<\/p>\n<p>Amey\u2019s defence team will work with the DIO to provide enhanced services, as outlined within the new FDIS requirement, through collaborative working and improved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/bim-news\/revu-digital-workflow-solution\/93327\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data management<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>RAMS will support more than 500 jobs within Amey and its key supply chain partners in both the Central and Northern regions.<\/p>\n<p>New ways of working will provide opportunities for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/flexible-working-construction-workers\/95142\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">flexible employment<\/a>, meaning members of the military community, parents, and carers will be able to access jobs.<\/p>\n<p>This will translate into more choice and flexibility for people living in SFA.<\/p>\n<p>The defence housing contract award follows Amey successfully delivering maintenance solutions under National Housing Prime \u2013 procured under the Next Generation Estates contract in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>FDIS, which is the largest facilities management procurement currently running across Europe, will change the way FM is delivered to SFA occupants\u202fand will increase value for money to the taxpayer.<\/p>\n<h3>Collaborated closely with representatives<\/h3>\n<p>Craig McGilvray, managing director of Amey Secure Infrastructure, said:\u00a0\u201cWe\u00a0recognise the important role housing plays to military personnel and are committed to providing an enhanced service that not only improves living standards but contributes to thriving communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupporting and sustaining regional and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/infrastructure-projects-save-25m\/64797\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local supply chain partners<\/a> remains a core part of Amey\u2019s agenda and we are pleased that our delivery model will support specialist contractors across Britain including Northern Ireland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Air commodore James Savage, DIO\u202fhead of accommodation, added:\u202f\u201cAccommodation is such an important part of family life for Servicemen and women, which is why we\u202fcollaborated closely with representatives of our Service personnel and their families to develop these contracts and ensure that their needs are fully considered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese new contracts offer the opportunity to break decisively from the past and to build on the commitments made by all suppliers to innovate and deliver more responsive and flexible services to the Armed Forces and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amey has been appointed to two contracts with the Defence
