Preferred bidder to run Defence Support Group announced
The MOD has yesterday announced the preferred bidder for the Defence Support Group’s land business as Babcock.
The Strategic Defence & Security Review White Paper published in October 2010 by the Prime Minister announced the government’s intention to sell the Defence Support Group (DSG).
This was in order to reduce MOD’s running costs and focus resources on the front line.
The sale also gives DSG access to the investment required to grow and transform the services it provides to the armed forces.
A buyer will continue to provide the front line with DSG’s capabilities to maintain and repair key military equipment and manage the storage of the land vehicle fleet. And, if necessary, deploy personnel to provide in-theatre support to UK military operations overseas.
