Amec lands £7.2m MoD scheme

Amec has landed a £7.2m Ministry of Defence deal in East Anglia, while the client has also called up contractors to pitch for further work totalling about £5m in the region.
At RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, Amec will build a dormitory block for 120 personnel.
The project includes demolishing the present block and then constructing two linked 60-bed dormitories consisting of four floors.
Completion is due in 90 weeks.
And six firms are battling it out for an estimated £5m-plus maintenance and repairs deal at RAF bases throughout Cambridgeshire.
The formation is: Alfred McAlpine Business Services; Mitie Engineering; Haden Building Management; and three London-based outfits - Bailey Maintenance Services, Cofathec and Planned Maintenance Engineering.
Most of the work will be concentrated at three bases: Alconbury; Molesworth; and Upwood.
The contract will initially run for five years, with the option to extend by a further two.
