Toll Group wins new ADF logistics contract

Toll Group has been selected by the Australian Defence Force to deliver vital equipment, supplies and support across Australia as part of the new $1.5B Defence Theatre Logistics (DTL) contract. The new DTL contract consolidates two existing contracts, which will see Toll streamline the delivery of warehousing, national distribution, and retail store services across the Defence network. This contract covers warehousing and storage at 18 main sites and 38 support warehouses, including over-the-counter services. Tasks include managing inventory, receiving, storing, inspecting, transferring, and issuing items such as vehicles and oversized stock. Retail services will also be delivered at selected Defence locations, enabling ADF members to order, transact and collect items locally. Toll will manage the operation of a national distribution network between those sites and supported ADF establishments. There will be a significant increase in staff at Toll in support of this contract, with approximately 800 additional team members starting across a phased transition period over the course of a 12-month period, commencing this month.
