Our Role in Project Allenby Connaught

PAC is the largest infrastructure Private Finance Initiative (PFI) ever undertaken by the MOD, with a total through-life value of approximately £8bn at contract award. PAC aims to provide an estate of the right size to meet military needs, focusing on fewer, larger sites in the UK and overseas.
