The core value of the contracts is estimated to be more than $120.2m (£98m) for an initial period of three years. It also includes two additional one-year extension options.

Apart from the £98m fixed price core contract, the deal includes a $42.9m (£35m) additional work option that will be commissioned by the DIO according to requirements.

Work under the contract is scheduled to commence in December this year, after the completion of a six-month mobilisation phase.

The additional project work is expected to start in 2023.

DIO chief operating officer David Brewer said: “We are proud of our relationship with the US Air Force (USAF) and want to ensure we are providing them with the best possible service. 

“These contracts represent a step-change in how we deliver facilities management services to USVF, and we have worked closely with our US colleagues to design these new contracts to ensure they reflect their needs.”
