Project HERA

Descriptions

Project HERA is a significant and wide-ranging Royal Air Force (RAF)-led project aimed at delivering services and technical support across UK military sites. It is a key part of the Authority's strategy to ensure the continued efficient and safe operation of Authority units.

 

The Services will be consolidated under a single national Contract for an anticipated initial period of eight years and 10 months, with an option to extend the Contract for a further two years (the anticipated 10-month mobilisation period is included within the initial term). The Authority will enter into the Contract with a single supplier entity (notwithstanding any Consortium arrangements).

 

Project HERA will replace four existing contracts (three delivered under Programme HADES, as well as the separate Brize Support Contract).
