Serco, the international provider of critical government services, has been awarded a new contract with estimated value of £203M to support ‘soldier readiness and performance’ within the US Army’s Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) System.
Serco and its partners will support 45 US Army brigades at 15 locations across the United States – from Alaska to Texas – to enhance soldier readiness, support optimal physical and non-physical performance, significantly reduce injury rates, and streamline rehabilitation.
Serco supports the entire career lifecycle of military personnel, from recruitment and onboarding, throughout their time in uniform, to leaving the Armed Forces and transitioning into civilian life through veteran support programmes.
The company currently supports the US Armed Forces, including the delivery of transition assistance to the US military and National Guard members entering the civilian economy and Serco’s certified counsellors supporting 200,000 US services members annually as they leave the military.
Defence contracts account for around a third of Serco’s revenues.
Mark Irwin, Group Chief Executive of Serco, said: “Serco has a long, distinguished history of supporting the armed forces around the world and this win builds on our existing strength in the defence sector. We have a strong pipeline of further opportunities in the sector, which is now our largest sector globally.
“We are proud to support the US Army’s efforts to revolutionise how they empower and equip soldiers to take charge of their health, fitness and wellbeing. This contract reflects our ability to support members of the Armed Forces at every stage of their career in the military, from helping governments recruit the right personnel to providing training, development, and health support during their period of service, through to supporting them in their transition as they leave the military and re-enter civilian life.
“We will continue to use our broad set of capabilities, skills and expertise to impact a better future for customers, communities and countries.”
This latest contract award follows a series of recent Defence wins for Serco in the US, including:
- A $193M contract to continue its delivery of career training and counselling services on behalf of the Department of Labor Veterans’ Employment and Training Services Transition Assistance Program, to support military service personnel as they return to civilian life.
- A $97M contract win to provide programme management and business performance improvement support to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) at four US naval shipyards and at the Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance Centre.
- A $33M contract award guaranteeing continued provision of psychological health outreach support for the US Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
These awards, build on Serco’s strong footprint of defence and civilian government contracts in North America which accounts for around a quarter of its revenues.
