To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 20 April 2023 to Question 177936 on Bickleigh Barracks: Repairs and Maintenance, what the cost to his Department was of resolving the 243 maintenance tasks at Bickleigh Barracks.

Answer

James Cartlidge

VIVO are contracted by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to effect repairs and restore functionality for all works under the Inclusive Repair Threshold (IRT) of £3,205. To confirm, 224 of the 243 maintenance tasks were addressed as part of this Core Contract and so no breakdown of individual costs can be provided.

The other 19 maintenance tasks required follow-on works which were above the IRT and classed as Billable Works (BW). 10 of these BW have been completed at a total cost to the MOD of £79,000. The other nine are either in progress or at the planning stage, so there has been no cost to the MOD to date.
