Accessing Sub Contracting Opportunities

The specification requirements of the MOD and Prime Contractor market are constantly changing, increasing the need to identify new potential suppliers on a daily basis..

There are significant sub-contracting opportunities created as a result of the many new Prime Contracts awarded annual, involving a wide variety of goods and services. Over the past few years this has increasingly been the main way for smaller companies to become involved in the defence market as part of the supply chain

The MOD generally adopts an ‘eyes on-hands off’ policy whereby it does not usually get involved in negotiating sub-contracts. The Prime Contractor is responsible for his supply chain and ensures that the MOD’s policy of competitive tendering, fair treatment of companies at sub-contractor level and long-term value for money is carried out. The MOD also regards it as important that a Prime Contractor’s ‘in-house’ elements should compete for all aspects of work against the capabilities of external sources of supply for sub-contract requirements.
