The five-year contract has an estimated value of $105 million (£80 million).

Under the contract, Serco will continue providing a range of professional and technical services, including engineering and programme management, test and evaluation, ship design management, and integrated logistics support.

As a proud partner to navies, militaries and governments around the world, Serco has extensive global capabilities in the maritime and defence sectors.

Anthony Kirby, Serco Group Chief Executive, said: “We are proud to retain this contract continuing our support for the US Navy’s PMS 377 programme, which we have supported since 2011.

“This win reflects our deep capabilities in the maritime and defence sectors, from providing crucial technical, engineering and shipbuilding services to navies around the world, whilst supporting military personnel through their career lifecycle, from recruitment through to training, health support and then transitioning back to civilian life as veterans.

“We are also pleased to add to our substantial order book and to continue to convert our record pipeline into contract awards.”
