Pinsent Masons has advised Carillion and KBR on a new contract with the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) as part of the Army Basing Programme - the return of UK troops from Germany by 2020.

Joint Ventures between Carillion and KBR (50:50) will carry out construction works and provide facilities management support. Recently announced by the Secretary of State for Defence in Parliament, the programme will provide defence accommodation at various installations on the Defence Infrastructure Organisation Estate in Wiltshire and Hampshire. Total value of the project is estimated to be worth more than £1.1 billion.

Pinsent Masons was delighted to support Carillion and KBR in relation to negotiations with the MOD and the JVs’ SPV employer, Aspire Defence Limited.

The Pinsent Masons team was led by partner Jonathan Hart and senior associate Sonal Shah.
