The largest of the three is for the delivery of transportation and supply services at RAF Alconbury, RAF Molesworth, and RAF Croughton, supporting the USAFE 501st Combat Support Wing (CSW) for up to five and a half years from September 2024. This contract, historically known as the AMC contract, marks the fifth successful rebid by Serco, which has supported these bases since 2003.
The second contract covers the provision of aircraft fuelling and ramp services at RAF Fairford for up to five years. The third is a new agreement for security services at RAF Blenheim Crescent, to be delivered over a two-year period.
Services at the AMC locations include traffic management operations for the global movement of personnel and goods, cargo transport, scheduled and unscheduled vehicle operations, furniture management across the UK, supply chain activities, and maintenance of a fleet of around 400 US specification vehicles. This fleet includes a range of vehicles from police cars to fire engines.
Doug Umbers, Managing Director of Serco’s Defence business, said: “We are proud to be supporting the US Air Force in the UK and to have been awarded these contracts to provide these vital Airfield Operations services. We have an outstanding team who provide a high quality service and who will continue to make a real impact in the coming years.”
