This white paper sets out the government’s intentions for reform of defence equipment delivery, equipment support and logistics supply. It covers two major reforms, the creation of a new body to replace the existing Defence Equipment and Support organisation and the strengthening of the arrangements governing the procurement of equipment where MOD is unable to source its requirement through open competition.
