Do you want to be a part of the future Base Services Team?

Defence is currently exploring a range of service delivery models and commercial contracting arrangements to define the next generation of Base Services arrangements through the Base Services Transformation (BST) Program. Through this tender, Defence will seek to modernise facilities and services available on base bringing them in line with facilities and services available in the wider community. The Base Services contracts represent an investment in the Australian economy of around $1.8 billion annually and deliver a range of estate sustainment services to Defence sites nationally to enable the effective operation of Defence working, living, operational and training environments. The Defence Industry Hubs invite you to meet with representatives from the procurement teams of some of the major contractors (Downer Defence, Serco & Ventia) tendering to be part of the Base Services Transformation Program.
