[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n \n \n RNS Number : 7175B\n Serco Group PLC\n 14 June 2021\n \n \n \n \n Significant UK defence contract win; strong current trading underpins increase to 2021 guidance\n \n \n 14 June 2021\n \n \n \n \n \n Serco:Engie joint venture awarded UK Defence Infrastructure contracts with an estimated base value of £900m and total potential value of £3.4bn over an initial term of seven years.\n \n \n \n \n \n VIVO Defence Services (VIVO), a 50/50 Joint Venture between Serco, the international provider of services to governments, and ENGIE, the leading energy and services company, has been awarded contracts to provide asset and facilities management services for the UK defence built estate by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO).
