Following a competitive five-way tender process, Linaker
have been awarded the prestigious framework with Babcock International Group (Babcock),
the defence company, to supply hard service maintenance to its UK wide Defence Support
Group (DSG) portfolio. The new partnership will see Linaker and Babcock work together to
create a new standard of collaboration moving toward a relational contract with shared
goals and values accredited to ISO 44001.
Linaker will deliver hard service maintenance for Babcock at sites where Babcock delivers critical
equipment and vehicle support services to the British Army, thus making the importance of this
contract all the greater. Linaker tailors its services to the unique needs of its clients, always
applying its pioneering people-first, technology-driven approach to form genuine partnerships
that deliver consistently high levels of service. It is this approach that makes the new partnership
with Babcock so exciting as they unite on a shared vision to accredit their new relationship to ISO
44001.
The Babcock DSG portfolio will form the first of many portfolios covered by the framework and
includes 26 army base sites across the UK. This first portfolio is going to focus on the building
blocks of culture and technology, working with the current onsite team to ensure they are fully
immersed into the new partnership via support and training, whilst a further 16 engineers will be
brought on board to facilitate contract delivery.
Andy Stewart at Babcock International says, “Our DSG facilities are critical for keeping the British
Army’s vehicles and equipment operationally ready, so this announcement is good news for
national security. We’re excited to embark on this partnership with Linaker who demonstrated an
exciting new approach to the sector with a focus on technology whilst keeping people at the
centre of their business.”
Claire Curran, Managing Director at Linaker says, “The framework of this new partnership
absolutely aligns with Linaker’s core values of care, reliability and trust. We could not be prouder
to be part of supporting service men and women across the UK.”
