Ministry of Defence: Contracts
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what contracts his Department plans to provide to businesses in each of the devolved regions.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The Defence footprint is nationwide and in every one of the UK’s nations and regions the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is making a positive difference. The MOD is required to use fair and open competition for all its contract opportunities, which includes non-discrimination on the grounds of location of a potential supplier in the UK, and is always keen to attract new entrants to the supply chain. Details of contracts awarded by the Department can be found on the Defence Sourcing Portal.
