Defence procurement projects cover an extensive range of equipment, infrastructure, information services and broad service contracts.

With over 500 contracts placed by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) since March 2021, including over 40 contracts with a value over £5 million, specific details concerning equipment contracts could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The MOD publishes statistics on organisations paid more than £5 million and the levels of expenditure against competitive and non-competitive contracts, although due to the need to verify the information before publication, the next update is not expected until later this year. The most recent publication can be found at the following link: www.gov.uk/government/collections/defence-trade-and-industry-index.

MOD contracts worth over £10,000 are published on the Government's Contracts Finder website at: www.gov.uk/contracts-finder.
