The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has today awarded a £50m contract to BAE Systems to support the British Army’s armoured tracked vehicle fleet, safeguarding 100 jobs. The five-year contract covers an array of design services including safety advice and elements of operational effectiveness for light, medium and heavy armoured vehicles. It also combines a number of existing support contracts into a more efficient and effective contracting agreement saving taxpayers money.
