This is because large parts of the Armed Services operate as fully integrated joint organisations in which elements from the Navy, Army and Air Force work closely together and share land, buildings and facilities, and sometimes equipment.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what deductions from profit margins are permissible under MOD contracts; and what steps the Government is taking to ensure that there are no costs to the public purse from failed bids and other business related costs.
tabling member constituency	St Ives
tabling member printed	Derek Thomas
uin	185720
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>When placing contracts through a competitive procurement process the Ministry of Defence (MOD) relies on competitive pressures to restrict profit margins to market rates. Such market pressure is absent in non-competitive contracting where the MOD relies instead upon the protections offered by Part 2 of the Defence Reform Act 2014 (DRA) and the Single Source Contract Regulations 2014 (SSCR).</p><p>Under the DRA and SSCR the MOD can make deductions to the profit margin earned on a Qualifying Defence Contract or Qualifying Subcontract, where that profit margin exceeds levels set out in the legislation.</p><p>In both competitive and single source contracting, the MOD can negotiate with a contractor Key Performance Incentives and Liquidated Damage provisions. These will have the effect of reducing payments, and hence profit margins, when performance is not to the agreed level.</p><p>MOD policy is not to pay suppliers for the costs of their failed bids. In a non-competitive procurement the MOD may consider payment of bid costs if it is the MOD that stops the tender process, at no fault of the supplier.</p><p>The MOD will have regard to the Single Source Regulations Office 'Statutory Guidance on Allowable Costs', when considering what if any business-related costs it is appropriate for the Department to accept into contract prices.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 08/11/2018 14:28:11 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew previous answer version 83796 answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions his Department has held with Babcock on securing the future of Appledore shipyard.
tabling member constituency	Carshalton and Wallington
tabling member printed	Tom Brake
uin	185470
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>While the future of Appledore is a matter for Babcock, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has remained closely engaged with the company on this issue. Together with MOD officials, both the Secretary of State for Defence and I have met Babcock to explore potential options. This included bringing forward a potential £60 million package of work at Devonport, thereby providing additional work for Appledore workers. However, our discussions with Babcock established that this work would not be enough to secure the long-term future of the yard.</p><p>Regrettably, Babcock has now stated that it has reached a point where it can no longer sustain the cost of its operations at Appledore. This is clearly a concerning time for Appledore employees and their families and, while Babcock will offer all those affected other positions, the Government is standing by to provide any additional support.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 02/11/2018 14:53:20 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
