Ministry of Defence: Procurement

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when will he publish the most recent quarterly portfolio review of his Department’s projects within the Government major projects portfolio.

Answered by Luke Pollard

In line with other Departments, the Ministry of Defence discloses declassified programme performance information for most of our major programmes, alongside the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) Annual Report. The next NISTA Annual Report and proactive disclosure will cover the Financial Year 2025 to 2026 and will be published in summer 2026.

Routine examination of the performance of our major projects and programmes that will contain security classified material is achieved through various governance boards and committees to ensure that senior management intervention is applied where and when it is needed throughout the year.
