Serco selected for $225m US contract to oversee key defense spending programme
Date : 21 February 2007
Serco Group plc (Serco) today announces that it has been selected by the US
Army to provide cost analysis, logistics planning and supply chain consulting
services worldwide.
The contract with the Army Sustainment Command has a potential value of $225m.
The single award, indefinite-delivery/ indefinite-quantity contract has a
one-year base period, with four annual options, for a five year total period.
Under this contract, Serco's North American business will oversee the
performance of other contractors and provide programme management analysis,
cost analysis and logistics planning for the Logistics Civil Augmentation
Program (LOGCAP IV).
This award builds on Serco's current training and financial services work on
both LOGCAP III and its Price Fighter service, which has helped the US Navy,
Army and Air Force achieve cost savings.
Christopher Hyman, Serco Group Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted that
the US Army has selected us for such a key area of their global operations. Our
history of improving the productivity and efficiency of services is a good
match for the increasingly sophisticated and complex requirements of the Army's
global logistics network."
