Carillion has now won three of the four Hestia contracts so far awarded. Sodexho has the South regional contract. Wales & West Midlands, East and Southwest have yet to be awarded.

Carillion interim chief executive Keith Cochrane said: "We are delighted to be awarded these contracts. The DIO is a key support services customer with whom we have built a long-term successful partnership. We are committed to building on this relationship and on our position as a leading supplier to the DIO by using our core skills and capabilities to deliver high-quality services.  

"These contracts play a critical role in supporting our armed forces and they have a number of unique aspects that require a specific, regional focus. They will enable us to create further training and employment opportunities for ex-services personnel in support of our commitment to the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant.”
