UK procurement and market access

Defence sector procurement is notoriously time consuming and challenging to navigate.

To succeed in this dynamic environment, organisations must not only understand the evolving risks and regulatory landscape but also remain alert to changes in procurement best practice. Staying informed about developments across the supply chain and proactively adapting is essential. 

In this session, our panel of experts will discuss what these changes mean for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and those operating in the supply chain, and offer practical guidance on engaging directly with the MOD. 

We will cover: 

• UK defence procurement – current priorities and trends 
• changes in procurement processes and how these impact technology suppliers 
• industrial strategy review – ambitions to reduce procurement timelines from seven to two years 
• practical guidance for engaging with the MOD  
• supply-chain security and resilience requirements.
