The Department set out an expectation that suppliers must demonstrate they can sustain performance at or above the Acceptable Level of Performance (ALP). Ministry of Defence (MOD) Officials hold regular scrutiny meetings with the Chief Executives of these suppliers to continue to hold them to account, to drive performance improvements and deliver the best possible service to for Service personnel and their families. Ministers have also met with contractor Chief Executives to direct action and have received and acted on frequent updates on performance progress.

The Department has also exercised to the fullest extent, its contractual rights to withhold fixed and variable profit in respect of the delivery of the contractual performance measures.
