Facts and figures

  • Duration: 10 years (+5) commencing June 2003
  • Joint venture company between Interserve and CSC
  • One of the largest outsourcing contracts ever awarded by the MoD
  • Interserve maintains and cleans over 64,000,000 sq m of property

Interserve joint venture Landmarc Support Services plays a vital role in ensuring pre-operational training facilities on the MoD's Defence Training Estate (DTE) are appropriate to meet the rigours of modern armed conflicts.

This £600 million, 10 – 15 year Public Private Partnership (PPP) covers more than 120 sites spread across 10 regions throughout the UK and delivers a unique and diverse range of estate management services. In addition to a traditional FM service, Landmarc operates and maintains the ranges and training areas, maintains roads, tracks and conservation areas and provides a central bookings service for all training facilities. Furthermore, Landmarc supports the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) on environmental issues and leads the management of the MoD's 1,400 tenancy agreements. An important element of the contract is the maintenance of environmentally sensitive sites which cover some 60,000 hectares of the 220,000 hectare estate.

Landmarc's bespoke management information system has, for the first time, enabled DTE to access comprehensive and consistent condition, maintenance and management information for their built and rural estate which ensures funding is targeted to the areas that need it most. The contract has also eliminated historic budget overruns by capturing a fixed cost within the contract price and delivered over £7 million of improvement projects across the Estate.
