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. 
  • A new contract for the provision of security services for USAFE 501st CSW at RAF Blenheim Crescent for up to two years. 

Doug Umbers, Managing Director of Serco’s Defence business, said: “We are proud to be supporting the US Air Force in the UK and to have been awarded these contracts to provide these vital Airfield Operations services. We have an outstanding team who provide a high quality service and who will continue to make a real impact in the coming years.”
