AmeyBriggs has secured a new contract to maintain and manage the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) fleet of construction and materials handling equipment, and other key plant, until 2027.
AmeyBriggs is a new joint venture between infrastructure support service provider Amey plc and Briggs Defence, a specialist division of asset management and engineering services provider Briggs Equipment.
AmeyBriggs announced that it has been chosen as the preferred supplier to deliver MITER.
MITER is an important new MOD contract involving the deployment and maintenance of key equipment used by the UK’s Armed Forces around the world as well as supporting military personnel in how to use it. The seven-year contract is valued at £240 million and brings together three separate contracts under one single fleet management and maintenance provision arrangement.
The Defence Mechanical Handling Equipment (DMHE), Protected Engineering Equipment and C-vehicle Capability contracts now form part of the new consolidated MITER contract. This will support the MOD’s requirement to ensure a sustained and consistent service for British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force personnel on deployed operations at home and overseas.
Both Amey and Briggs have wide experience within the defence sector and a proven track record of delivering successful MOD contracts. Briggs Defence is a respected MOD partner and has been providing the UK’s Armed Forces with logistics solutions across land, air and sea, including global equipment supply and engineering support, since 1997. With one of the UK’s largest skilled engineering teams, Briggs Defence can provide unrivalled maintenance support plus military personnel training.
Amey has successfully delivered part of the previous generation of the contract through its joint venture, ALC, providing the construction and engineering equipment that UK service personnel need to carry out operations across the world.
