Published: 16 Sep 2014
The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that Carillion will take the major works package in the expansion of Royal Navy Air Station Yeovilton.
The contract worth £41.2m is known as Contract 5 and includes demolition and construction of three accommodation blocks for senior ratings.
Work also includes building a sports pavilion and alterations to existing medical and dental centres.
In April, Carillion got its foot in the door by securing the first £6m job at the base to build a new squadron office for the Royal Navy’s Lynx Wildcat helicopters and Commando Helicopter Force.
The latest deal covers full project management, design and construction and refurbishment of existing buildings.
Contract 5 was initially budgeted at £50m-£60m by the MoD.
