Serco enters Middle East defence market with Qatar deal | Reuters:



"Struggling British outsourcing firm Serco said it had signed its first defence contract in the Middle East - a 26 million pound ($44 million) deal to deliver education courses to officers of the Qatar Armed Forces.



Under the three-year contract with Qatar's Ministry of Defence, Serco will provide postgraduate-level military education courses for majors and lieutenant colonels in the navy, army and air force, in partnership with Britain's Ministry of Defence and King's College London, the firm said on Thursday.



Serco, which operates services around the world from prisons to air traffic control, already does business with armed forces in the United States, Australia and Britain, where it also provides military education courses."
