The concept phase work to date for the Mobile Fires Platform has been conducted under existing contracts or internally in the Ministry of Defence. The Department tracks spending on Mobile Fires Platforms under each of the different contracts and internally. The table below therefore shows the spend to date in support of each part of the concept phase for the Mobile Fires Platform rather than discreet contract values:

Contract

Commerce Decision

Market engagement, initial strategic advice and business case support

DSTL
