The Ministry of Defence has called up a consortium featuring Laing O’Rourke John Laing and Interserve with Laing O’Rourke as contractor for a £180m PFI deal in Wiltshire.
The Inteq group will tackle what is being billed as “a communication centre of excellence” on a 26ha site at Basil Hill, Corsham.
The consortium will work with Defence Estates on a scheme capable of supporting an estimated 2,000 people as the Defence Communication Services Agency rationalises its estate.
The flagship project will includes offices and single- living accommodation, with Interserve providing facilities management services over the 25-year period of the concession.
Financial close is expected late next year, with construction work scheduled for completion in 2010.
John Laing and Interserve will each have a 50% project stake in the project.
