Description

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) on behalf of the Ministry of Defence (MoD), have considered options to secure the provision of water and wastewater services, and the operation and maintenance of MOD’s private water network upon the expiry of the Aquatrine PFIs in 2028 and 2030. Given the inevitability of change in the water sector, the needs of Defence are best served at this moment in time by going to the market seeking provision for a replacement service, likely to be in the form of Managed Service Provision (MSP) contract.
