Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 30 March 2023 to Question 172978 on Artillery: Contracts, what the total value is of each of those contracts.
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 | Output | Cost (£) |
Commerce Decision | Market engagement, initial strategic advice and business case support | 387,589.64 |
Equinox | Training analysis | 77,390.00 |
QinetiQ | Feasibility studies and ammunition qualification support | 811,227.14 |
PA Consulting | Strategic advice and business case support | 382,049.27 |
DSTL | Operational analysis | 900,937.48 |
Total | 2,559,193.53 |
* The figures in the table represent the total spend as at 31 March 2023. It is likely that some additional spend will be further incurred under DSTL and PA Consulting. Work under contract with Commerce Decision, Equinox, and QinetiQ has concluded.
