GCHQ
GSL's £400m contract to construct and service the new Government's Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham, England, is one of the largest buildings developed under Private Finance Initiative (PFI) to date.
The contract is funded by a £425million senior and mezzanine bond investment (together with sponsor support of some £22 million) to cover capital expenditure and interest. GCHQ has one of the largest and most sophisticated computer systems in the world, supporting the vital contribution it makes to national security.
The new building has been designed to the most modern standards and GSL provides complete integrated support services under a 30-year contract.
This includes all the non-core but essential service activities such as maintenance, catering, cleaning, conference and training facilities as well as logistics and security. This ensures an excellent working environment and satisfy the needs of people now and in the future.
The new working environment assists some of the country's brightest people in carrying out their important and sensitive tasks.
