| ⚫ | '''Defence Infrastructure Organisation''' ('''DIO''') is an operating arm of the [[Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Defence]] (MoD) in the United Kingdom, which is responsible for the built and rural estate. Its chief executive is Mike Green. |
||
==Administration== |
|||
The organisation is managed by its [[Chief Executive]], currently Dave Mitchard. |
|||
==History== |
|||
Management of this very large and diverse business relies on a multiplicity of partnerships, not only with industry but also with many Statutory Bodies and NGOs. It also requires an extremely close relationship with those who use the estate - the Armed Forces - to ensure that it meets the requirements to maintain operational capability. |
|||
The DIO was formed in 2011 in order to bring together the management of the MoD's estate, to reduce its running costs and create commercial opportunities.<ref name=cswmay18>{{cite web|url=https://www.civilserviceworld.com/articles/interview/defence-infrastructure-organisation-chief-graham-dalton-its-new-role-scale-his|title=Defence Infrastructure Organisation chief Graham Dalton on its new role, the scale of his remit, and living through Carillion|publisher=Civil Service World|date=21 May 2018|access-date=3 December 2018}}</ref> It was criticised by the [[National Audit Office (United Kingdom)|National Audit Office]] in November 2016 because the performance regime it had set for [[Capita]], its strategic outsourcing partner, was "not fit for purpose" and was failing to incentivise sustainable spending reductions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.civilserviceworld.com/articles/news/mod-estate-plans-hit-short-term-cuts-and-contract-weaknesses-%E2%80%93-nao|title=MoD estate plans hit by short-term cuts and contract weaknesses – NAO|date=15 November 2016|publisher=Civil Service World|access-date=3 December 2018}}</ref> |
|||
== Activities and structure == |
|||
It is based on ''Kingston Road'' in [[Whitehouse Common]], [[Sutton Coldfield]]. There are other office sites at [[Andover, Hampshire|Andover]] in [[Hampshire]], [[Tilshead]] near [[Salisbury]] in [[Wiltshire]], [[Wyton, Cambridgeshire|Wyton]] in [[Cambridgeshire]] and [[Catterick Garrison]] in [[North Yorkshire]]. |
|||
DIO manages around 1.8% of the UK's landmass, including 115,000 non-residential buildings and 50,000 houses.<ref name=cswmay18/> |
|||
It is divided into six operating divisions, under the Corporate HQ:<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=H2HNDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT76|title=The British Army Guide 2016-2017|first=Charles|last=Heyman|year=2015|publisher=Pen and Sword|isbn=978-1473845497}}</ref> |
|||
==Portfolio== |
|||
|
|||
The agency's property portfolio is diverse and ranges from [[naval base]]s and [[airfield]]s to forces housing and military training grounds. Many of these sites are of national heritage or of [[archaeological]] importance. The agency also has responsibility for the overseas estates of the MoD. |
|||
The majority of forces housing was sold to a private housing group ([[Annington Homes]]) in 1996 and is leased back.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7115903.stm|title=MoD housing cash paying the rent|publisher=BBC|accessdate=18 April 2014}}</ref> |
|||
==Aims and mission== |
|||
The agency is responsible for the day to day estates activity through a wide range of maintenance, construction and sustainability issues, with an annual budget of some £1 bn and direct responsibility for over 4,000 staff. The agency became a top level budget from 1 April 2005. |
|||
The agency’s mission is “to deliver estate solutions to defence needs”. Its vision, which follows on from this, is to “provide an estate of the right size and quality, which is managed and developed effectively in line with acknowledged best practice, and which is sensitive to social and environmental considerations”. |
|||
As a major client of the construction industry, it is a member of the [[Construction Clients' Group]]. |
|||
==Rationalisation and consolidation== |
|||
Management of the MoD estate as a corporate asset includes [[Rationalization (economics)|rationalisation]] and [[Consolidation (business)|consolidation]], working towards focusing the Ministry's activities onto fewer, larger sites. Since 1998/1999 DE has disposed of land and facilities surplus to requirements to the value of £1.46 billion. In devising and implementing an agreed plan with its customers, DIO provides a corporate and long-term view of defence requirements consistent with the Estate Strategy. This will assist in focusing MoD’s use of and future investment in its estate, to meet defence requirements for an estate of the optimum size and quality. |
|||
==Organisation== |
|||
DIO is divided into five operating divisions, supported by the Corporate HQ: |
|||
*Hard Facilities Management - Responsible for minor construction projects, mechanical and electrical support to the estate. |

|||
For hard FM and construction projects five Regional Prime Contracts have been let; in [[Scotland]], the [[South West of England|South West]], [[South East of England|South East]], [[Midlands of England|Central]] and [[East of England|East]]. |
|||

The DIO was formed in 2011 in order to bring together the management of the MoD's estate, to reduce its running costs and create commercial opportunities.[1] It was criticised by the National Audit Office in November 2016 because the performance regime it had set for Capita, its strategic outsourcing partner, was "not fit for purpose" and was failing to incentivise sustainable spending reductions.[2]
DIO manages around 1.8% of the UK's landmass, including 115,000 non-residential buildings and 50,000 houses.[1]
It is divided into six operating divisions, under the Corporate HQ:[3]
