PriDE and Defence Estates sign £400m contract for South East Regional Prime and celebrate final mobilisation stage

The official signing of the £400 million contract for South East Regional Prime, between PriDE - a joint venture between Interserve Defence Limited (IDL) and Southern Electric Contracting (SEC) - and Defence Estates took place on the 23rd May 2005. The two organisations also celebrated the mobilisation of the final phase in the South East Regional Prime Contract.

PriDE is responsible, as the Prime Contractor, for the provision of estate management and construction services at 96 MOD sites throughout the south east region, encompassing the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Sussex, Surrey and Greater London. The contract will run for an initial seven-year period with an MOD option to extend to 10 years.

Vice Admiral Peter Dunt, Defence Estates Chief Executive said:

"Today marks two important milestones for Defence Estates and PriDE; firstly, the signing of the formal contract and secondly and more importantly, celebrating the beginning of the mobilisation activities in the final phase of the South East Regional Prime Contract. The collaborative approach between DE and PriDE has enabled progress on the Contract to be made extremely quickly, and is the third of five innovative Regional Prime Contracts in the UK to go live."
