The contract will see Interserve, John Laing and construction partner Laing O'Rourke construct and then manage a centre of communication for the Ministry of Defence, with live-in accommodation for up to 2,200 employees.

Construction will begin immediately and will continue until 2011. Both Interserve and John Laing will contribute £7m of investment to the UK project as part of a 50% equity/sub-debt stake.
