Defence Tenders

Small businesses have been behind some of the UK’s biggest defence projects. Ministry of Defence organisations like Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) want to work with a ‘diverse supply base’ and have implemented principles to help suppliers do business with them.

How much is the UK spending on defence?

In December 2018, the Department for International Trade’s Defence & Security Organisation (DIT DSO) declared that £24.3billion was paid by the MOD to UK and foreign owned organisations in 2017/18. Indeed the MOD is the single biggest spending customer in the UK, with its outlay equating to 45% of overall central government spend.

Supply2Gov customers can find defence tenders by tailoring their supplier profile.
