Capita team wins Selborne
Has the MoD made itself a hostage to fortune by outsourcing training services to a private consortium?
The UK MoD has selected a Capita-led consortium to provide outsourced training services to the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Marines under the mantle of Project Selborne, after awarding a 12-year, £925 million ($1.22 billion) contract.
As Shephard reported in March, the contract, which is expected to be signed shortly, could eventually be worth £2 billion.
The Capita-led team, known as Fisher Training, comprises Raytheon, Elbit Systems UK and Fujitsu. In winning the competition, Fisher beat two consortia containing Babcock International and Lockheed Martin respectively.
