The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department’s timetable is for the delivery of key equipment upgrades under the Integrated Procurement Model.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The intent of the procurement model announced in February 2024 has been integrated into the broader defence and acquisition reforms set out in the Strategic Defence Review and Defence Industrial Strategy.

These reforms include the new segmented approach to procurement, supported by accelerated commercial pathways, designed to speed up delivery and achieve our targets to reduce the time to contract.
