22 August 2024

Serco has been awarded a new contract by US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to manage the modernisation of the back-up electrical plant at the US Space Force's Pituffik Space Base, in Greenland.  The contract started in August 2024 and has an estimated value of around $320m (£250 million) over its four-year term.
