Three teams are competing for a £49m public private partnership programme to update facilities at Brompton Barracks in Chatham, Kent. Work will include training facilities, infrastructure and accommodation for the Royal School of Military Engineering in Kent.
The three teams are a Carillion-led consortium named Flagship; Defence Estates contractor Vosper Thornycroft in Southampton; and the Hold Fast Integrated Training Service consortium led by defence contractors Hunting Engineering in Hertfordshire.
The teams have been invited to negotiate in more detail in June following which a single contractor will be chosen.
The contract is part of the Army's drive to provide better accommodation and facilities in order to retain existing service personnel and attract new recruits
