Our Training Estates Services agreement provides unique solutions to help you take control of your land and rural estate, alongside a broad spectrum of Facilities Management (FM) services such as: 

  • maintenance
  • catering 
  • cleaning 
  • specialised services such as Training Areas and Ranges Operation and Management (TAROM).

Developed in partnership with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), the agreement will run for four years (until March 2024) and has five awarded suppliers.

However, the agreement is not reserved for defence-related organisations – it is open to the whole of the public and third sector. Offering a wide range of estate management services, unique to CCS, the agreement could prove particularly beneficial to organisations that have specialised land and rural estate management requirements.

With land management services you can manage lettings including all types of agreements where third parties have use (permanent or otherwise) of your estate. 

With rural estate management, suppliers are able to create an estate management plan for each of your premises, identifying current management policies and practices and set out how they will maintain and enhance the rural estate for you. Objectives such as sustainability, managing the needs and concerns of landowners and managing the estate in line with best practice are at the heart of this plan. You can even arrange to let or licence any asset to maximise the income generated from the establishment via this service.

In addition to a comprehensive rural estate planned preventative maintenance service, suppliers also offer services in the following areas: 

  • forestry (including forestry harvesting income generation);
  • ditching and land drainage;
  • pest control;
  • landscaping and grass cutting;
  • road and track maintenance;
  • snow and ice clearance; and
  • protection of habitats, environmental management and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
