Answer
The Defence Fire and Rescue Project does not meet the criteria to be listed in the Ministry of Defence Government Major Projects Portfolio. The criteria are set out in the Treasury Approvals Process for Programmes and Projects, which can be found at the following link:

The whole life cost of the project is expected to be in excess of £400 million, to release further details could undermine the ability to drive maximum benefit from the on-going commercial competition.
