Why VIVO Defence?

VIVO, a 50:50 joint venture between Serco and EQUANS, oversees Facilities Management (FM) and Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Housing Maintenance on behalf of the Ministry of Defence's Defence Infrastructure Organisation.

VIVO also runs Asset and Facilities Management services for the government's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) in their southwest region and looks after eight of the 13 UK regions of the Volunteer Estate - this provides sites for the nation's military reservists and cadets. VIVO also provides Housing Maintenance and FM services for 11 United States Visiting Forces (USVF) sites across England. 

VIVO embodies both experience and innovation. Our parents, Serco and EQUANS, are industry-leading FM specialists who provide lived wisdom of Defence and market leading regeneration capabilities.

Together, we bring a deep understanding and appreciation of the military’s ethos, culture, operational practices and structures to create an organisation that will work side by side with our partners, customers and service users to achieve their goals.

Our purpose is to modernise the lived experience for our Armed Forces to achieve, grow and thrive. There is one other element that will be critical to the success of our joint venture – our culture. Our ‘Commit to Enable’ culture is centred around the commitments we make every day to enable Defence Capability.

VIVO. Built for Change.

VIVO Vision and Values
