Commercial strategy

The DIO commercial strategy explains how we aim to transform the way we do business. It has a focus on increasing supplier numbers, offering greater opportunities to small and medium-sized enterprises as well as larger suppliers. The strategy also gives information on the types of opportunities available to prospective suppliers.

DIO procurement pipeline

The Procurement Pipeline replaces the Procurement Plan and complements the DIO Commercial Strategy. It aims to inform industry of what DIO plans to buy on behalf of its Armed Forces customers. The pipeline is updated regularly to ensure that the latest information is available.
