MoD contractor ‘alliance’ to start building first MMC military bedspaces

As part of this approach, DIO (an operating arm of the MoD) has created a single-living accommodation library. This provides a common base design with variations and flexibility to adapt according to the needs of the site and its personnel, such as the number of rooms required.

The alliance is part of a wider MoD plan to build or refurbish 40,000 SLA bed spaces over a decade.

The projects allocated to alliance members so far are:

Priority has been given to sites with ageing and poor-quality existing SLA, said the MoD. 

Warren Webster, DIO’s programme director for the SLA programmatic approach, said: “The programmatic approach is already proving successful, with a number of projects underway and others allocated. 

“Our new alliance is demonstrating excellent collaborative behaviours and focuses on continued improvement. Beyond that, we have plans for many more new SLA blocks at sites across the country, benefitting thousands of our service personnel for years to come.”
