Mr. Ainger: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the defence fixed telecommunications system.
[10868]
Mr. Spellar: The previous Government announced on 6 November 1996, Official Report, column 521 that they intended to commence
contract negotiations for the defence fixed telecommunications system with the preferred bidder, the INCA consortium led by British
Telecommunications plc.
Contractual negotiations have now been successfully completed and a 10-year contract, based on the principles of the private finance
initiative, has been awarded to the consortium. Under the contract, which will be signed tomorrow, ownership of and responsibility
for the operation and maintenance of most of the defence fixed telecommunications assets in Great Britain will pass to the private
sector. This arrangement will enable the MOD to continue to reach the required levels of performance while benefiting from access to
continually evolving technology.
The contract is worth more than £800 million, which makes it the largest MOD PFI deal so far. Savings to the MOD are estimated to be
more than £100 million over the 10-year period of the contract.
The contractor will perform the work currently undertaken by about 1,200 civilian and service personnel. Where appropriate, the
Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 1981 will apply. Where TUPE does not apply, the MOD will be taking
all possible steps to minimise the effect on civilian staff in posts that lapse. Regrettably, the need for some compulsory
redundancies among civilian staff cannot be ruled out. Military personnel occupying affected posts will be redeployed to other
service duties.

Mr. French: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about his Department's proposals for the
introduction of a defence fixed telecommunications system. [3033]
Mr. Portillo: Good communications are crucial to the efficient and effective operation of the armed forces. The defence fixed
telecommunications system--DFTS--will provide, in a single UK-wide network, the telecommunications link and exchanges required by
all defence users. It will integrate and rationalise the five existing UK networks, and provide connections to commercial networks
and to those of allies. It will also reduce current equipment and manpower costs whilst achieving important operational benefits.
The invitation to tender invited bidders to consider solutions based on the principles of the Government's private finance
initiative to enable the MOD to transfer to the private sector the ownership, operation and maintenance of the network and thus
relieve the MOD of the economic risks associated with changing technology and patterns of usage. The contractor will therefore
assume responsibility for providing services at the required levels of performance. Two consortia submitted best and final offers.
I am now able to announce that, subject to the satisfactory conclusion of contractual negotiations, I have approved the
implementation and commercial management of DFTS services, under a 10-year contract with the INCA consortium, led by British
Telecommunications plc, in conjunction with Lockheed Martin, OASIS and GEC-Marconi.
Under the PFI arrangements, INCA will make maximum use of the infrastructure serving other customers. The contract will be worth in
the region of £700 million, which makes it the MOD's biggest PFI deal so far. Taut contractual arrangements will be negotiated to
provide incentives for INCA to meet required levels of performance. We estimate that this will result in savings to the MOD well in
excess of £100 million.
The implementation of the DFTS will entail placing under commercial management the work currently undertaken by staff in some 1,200
military and civilian posts at about 100 defence establishments throughout the UK. Detailed arrangements for this will be agreed
during contracts negotiations.
