    Brief

    The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) is developing a future procurement strategy for a defence requirement and has completed initial market engagement activities. These included an Industry Day, supplier interviews, bilateral discussions, and a Request for Information (RFI) process to gather industry insights on capability, capacity, innovation, and delivery models. Based on this feedback, the MOD is now reviewing its Procurement Strategies, which may include Multi-Supplier Frameworks and individual contract solutions to balance flexibility, competition, and resilience while accessing a broad range of industrial capability. The MOD will progress detailed development of the procurement strategy, framework structure, and commercial documentation over the coming months. Interested organisations should monitor defence procurement portals for further announcements regarding competition details, timelines, and procurement arrangements, which will be communicated no later than Q1 2027.
