Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many individual bids have been (a) made for funding from the International Fund for Ukraine and (b) received funding from the International Fund for Ukraine.

In the first round of procurement funded by the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU), 1,567 individual proposals were received from suppliers, across 11 capability areas. Following an assessment of all of these proposals, 10 have been selected to be taken forward as part of the first IFU-funded capability package. The Department is now negotiating and agreeing contracts with the successful suppliers, so no funding has yet been disbursed from the IFU.
