NG Bailey has been awarded a £25m contract to complete all M&E works at the Ministry of Defence's (MoD's) Beacon Barracks base in Staffordshire, working alongside main contractor Lend Lease.

The project – on behalf of the MoD's Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) – is being undertaken to increase the barracks' size, growing its capacity from 500 to 2,000 personnel and creating enough room to accommodate two new signal regiments returning from Germany.


A variety of new buildings will be constructed, including offices, workshops, living quarters and ancillary facilities.

NG Bailey will deliver a full design and installation solution. Led by its Engineering division, the company will also utilise its Offsite Manufacture division to assist in the design and installation of prefabricated plant rooms, skid mounts and pipework and containment modules. Its IT Services arm will also play its part, bringing in a specialist Communications Information Systems (CIS) to make the barracks' IT infrastructure fit for the future.

Mike Darlington, joint managing director of NG Bailey's Engineering division, said: "This is a great win for us and we're delighted to be delivering services that will grow the barracks' capacity.

"Our strong partnership and collaborative approach will enable us to deliver a best value solution for the Ministry of Defence."
