Babcock awarded electro-mechanical training contract extension

We have been awarded a one-year contract extension by the Ministry of Defence to continue delivering electro-mechanical training to the Defence College of Technical Training (DCTT).

The Electro-mechanical Training Contract (EMTC2) extension, worth circa £22 million, involves the annual delivery of courses to around 5,000 students from the tri-Services.

Through the contract, we will continue to provide services such as the design, planning, scheduling and delivery of training, and support to more than 2,500 pieces of equipment – including weapons and tanks, and multi-media development.

We have been delivering training to the DCTT for more than 10 years – employing more than 300 people at the Ministry of Defence Lyneham and HMS Sultan.

Jo Rayson, Managing Director for our Training Business, said: “As we work with our customer to respond to a rapidly changing defence landscape, we are ensuring our Armed Forces have the essential capabilities needed to carry out their missions. 

“Our team blends the best of traditional training methods with innovative evidence-based learning strategies, to deliver engaging and effective training. 

“We’re delighted to have been awarded this contract extension and look forward to delivering this critically important training to the UK’s frontline commands.”
