Metrix UK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Metrix UK Ltd is a joint venture company between LandSecurities Trillium and QinetiQ, specifically set up to bid for the 2 main contracts under the UK Government's 2001 Defence Training Review (DTR) Rationalisation Programme. Contract 1 involves provision of training for engineering and communications for the whole of the British Armed Forces, while contract 2 will provide training for logistics, security, policing and administration.
On 17 January 2007, it was announced that the Metrix consortium had been awarded Preferred Bidder status for Package 1 of the DTR programme, and Provisional Preferred Bidder status for Package 2. Metrix is expected eventually to reduce the current defence training estate from about 30 current sites to about 10 in the future, with a main campus to be located at RAF St Athan, Wales.[1]
