MOD awards contract to build Typhoon facilities in Moray

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has awarded a £23million contract to deliver new accommodation and support facilities at RAF Lossiemouth to help enable Typhoon fast jets to operate from the base. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) – the MOD’s property and services provider – has awarded the contract to Turner Estate Solutions, its existing Regional Prime Contractor responsible for delivering infrastructure work inScotland. Turner Estate Solutions will undertake the work in around 14 months. This builds on some £17 million of works already in progress at the Moray airbase.
