In total these contracts are valued at c.£24 million over their lifetimes.
The three contracts are:
- Delivery of transportation and supply services across three UK USAFE sites in support of the USAFE 501st CSW: RAF Alconbury, RAF Molesworth and RAF Croughton for up to five and a half years from September 2024. Historically referred to as the AMC contract (Alconbury, Molesworth and Croughton) contract, in an acknowledgement of the three RAF bases being supported, Serco has been delivering these diverse services to support the USAFE since 2003 and this was the fifth time that the company has successfully rebid the contract.
- A new contract for the provision of aircraft fuelling and ramp services at RAF Fairford for up to five years.
