The extension to the existing DSG Service Provision and Transformation Contract (SPTC) will deliver a comprehensive range of support capabilities for the Army in the UK with global reach.

Babcock said that through the course of the extension, it will deliver improved readiness, regeneration and asset management services "underpinned by extensive engineering and supply chain expertise".

"This will maximise the availability of critical army equipment whilst delivering increased value for money and better outcomes for both partners," it said.

In collaboration with the MOD, who have committed to investment in facilities and equipment, Babcock will continue to invest in its workforce of 1,600 highly skilled people across more than 20 sites throughout the UK, including skills development and a "robust" apprentice scheme.

Chief executive officer David Lockwood said: "In a period of increased global instability, more is being expected of our armed forces. This contract extension ensures that Babcock continues to provide the British Army with the tools to do its job, when and wherever they are needed.

"Our know-how, application of technology and extensive experience in the land domain help ensure that the British Army is ready to fight and win wars."
