Only if it was properly resourced and manned which is very unlikely in the modern military environment.
There are probably just enough people with the skills and knowledge to restart the training machine but there won't be in a few more years time.
There's no reason a private provider can't deliver UKSAR, it was being done well up until recently, but it would be better as a not for profit arrangement to stop one contract being used to support others in the company as we see now.
