answer text <p>With an equipment plan worth £180 billion over 10 years, a rising Defence budget and a Defence Innovation Fund of approximately £800 million, there are great opportunities for innovative suppliers. We have extended the Defence Growth Partnership Innovation Challenge, to address areas such as persistent surveillance, autonomy and big data. With the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and Invest Northern Ireland we will also pilot a new Defence Technology Exploitation Programme to help Northern Ireland's vibrant defence Small and Medium - Sized Enterprises to access research and development investment of approximately £1.2 million and develop stronger links and new routes to market through primes and upper tier companies across the UK. Alongside this initiative, the Ministry of Defence's Defence and Security Accelerator is creating a post covering Scotland and Northern Ireland to help companies access its innovation programmes.</p> more like this

answer text <p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence decided to set the 2019-20 Baseline Profit Rate (BPR) in line with the Single Source Regulations Office's (SSRO) recommendation. The SSRO methodology for calculating the rate has not changed significantly since last year. It is published on the SSRO's website alongside a question and answer briefing, information fact sheets on its methodology, and detailed supporting analysis.</p><p>The BPR is an average of the actual profit rates earned by companies whose activities are comparable to companies that contribute to the delivery of Ministry of Defence single source contracts. The SSRO's assessment is that the increase this year is mainly caused by changes in the performance of companies that make up the comparator groups, reflecting changing economic conditions.</p> more like this
