Over the course of the 35 year contract we will make soldiers’ lives better by:

• Providing services and accommodation for 20% of the trained British Army
• Delivering modern, high quality, fully serviced and purpose built living and working accommodation
• 35-year PFI contract with Aspire Defence Ltd
• Project value circa £8bn
• £1.2bn eight year construction programme
• Project footprint is home to approximately 18,700 soldiers, 20% of the trained British Army
• Creation, maintenance and refurbishment of 11,500 single en-suite bedrooms
• Local help desks available 24/7, 365 days a year  

Since April 2006 Aspire Defence and the MoD have achieved:

• A full range of improved services which commenced within 90 days of contract signature
• More than 414 new or refurbished buildings completed and handed over, and continue to do so ahead of programme, at an average rate of one a week
• More than 7,700 soldiers have moved into their new single en-suite rooms
• A positive and committed partnering relationship between the MoD and Aspire Defence which is being held up as a model for other projects

As a consequence of all this, soldiers returning from demanding operations in Afghanistan are now increasingly moving into new accommodation which is of a standard they deserve and of which the nation can be proud.  Project Allenby/Connaught is making soldiers’ lives better.
