The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has announced a dedicated Defence Office for Small Business Growth to ensure that small and medium sized enterprises can successfully bid for and win defence contracts. This marks a major shift towards strengthening British industry and innovation, and comes in the wake of the UK Government announcing an increase in defence sector spending. The new team will work to simplify procurement processes and open up greater opportunities for SMEs across the UK defence Supply chain.
This initiative aims to foster a more resilient SME supply chain in the UK, which is critical to delivering the UK’s defence manufacturing goals.
