Service Stream has secured a long-term Base Services Contract with Defence.
From 1 February 2026, Service Stream will deliver Property and Asset Services (PAS) on behalf of Defence’s Security and Estate Group for South Australia and the Northern Territory. This contract will cover 113 Defence sites and training facilities, including 8 major bases. Around 350 new employees and specialist contractors will join Service Stream to deliver these services.
Service Stream’s Managing Director, Leigh Mackender says this marks an exciting new chapter for Service Stream as we expand our service offerings and enter a new growth market.
“Service Stream is extremely proud to be awarded this significant agreement with the Australian Department of Defence. As an Australian owned and operated company, we are honoured to earn the trust of Defence and believe this is an ideal strategic fit for Service Stream and its ongoing support of critical essential infrastructure throughout Australia,” Mackender said.
The initial term is six years, with two extension options of between one and three years, which could allow for a maximum term of up to 10 years. The combined price of the contract is approximately $1.6 billion over the initial six-year term.
To help deliver Service Stream's services for the contract, the company is now actively recruiting people to join its team.
Separately, Downer was awarded the east coast PAS contract.
