Vinci and St Modwen share £41m MoD contract

VSM Estates, a joint venture between Vinci and St Modwen Properties, has picked up a £41m contract to deliver phase three of a £180m construction programme at RAF Northolt.

The contract is part of project MoDEL, the Ministry of Defence's estate consolidation and redevelopment programme in Greater London.

The third phase, to be delivered by Norwest Holst, will provide offices for the Queen's Colour Squadron, a facility for HQ Music Services, a 152-bed Junior Ranks' Single Living Accommodation (SLA) blocks, a support wing facility, and a physical and recreational training centre.

The first two phases of the programme were also awarded to VSM Estates, in August 2006.
