New arrangements for Hard FM on the MOD’s Volunteer Estate go live today! In 2021, VINCI Facilities was delighted to be awarded the contract to provide Hard Facilities Management to UK Ministry of Defence sites used by Reserves and Cadets. We were awarded the contract along with Mitie and VIVO Defence Services by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO). The MOD’s existing Built Estate contracts, were amended in December last year to add an additional 1,622 sites used by Reserves and Cadets, known as the Volunteer Estate, into their scope. This amendment went live today! The change will see the Volunteer Estate sites receive key maintenance work, repairs, servicing and hard facilities management through the existing MOD Built Estate contracts. We are excited to now be working with two of the 13 regions of the Ministry of Defence’s Volunteer Estate – Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Association for Greater London' and South East Reserve Forces' & Cadets' Association To mark this go live day, an event was held in Aldershot, where members of the VINCI Facilities team including Managing Director Paul Cottam BEng(Hons), CEng, MCIBSE, MEI, met with Major General Jamie Gordon, Chief Executive Council of RFCAs, Colonel Patrick Crowley, Chief Executive, SERFCA and Jon Hewlett, Interim Programme Director (UK) & Programme Manager, Volunteer Estate Value for Money Study Jon said: "Today marks an important day for the Reserves and Cadets as we bring the Built Estates Hard Facilities arrangements into service for our Volunteer Estates. "We very much look forward to working with VINCI Facilities, VIVO and Mitie to ultimately deliver services which will help to improve the lived experience of our Reserves and Cadets."
