NG Bailey has received a contract with Fujitsu to improve the UK Ministry of Defence's (MoD) communications infrastructure.

Valued at more than £50m, the contract includes the delivery of information and communication technology over a period of five years.

NG Bailey and Fujitsu will jointly provide core global connectivity services.

"The vital role that our partnership will play puts us at the heart of the future UK defence strategy."

The contract will enable greater agility and mobility to service personnel, with the work helping the MoD to cut down on costs over the next ten years, NG Bailey said in a statement.

NG Bailey CEO David Hurcomb said: “Working hand-in-glove with Fujitsu has already been a pleasure and we are very proud to be applying our expertise to such an important initiative.

“By enhancing the MoD’s communications infrastructure our work will not only realise tremendous cost savings which will be reinvested into defence, it will also make the Ministry more efficient and more effective in its mission to keep Britain safe.”
