answer text <p>As one of our key suppliers, we hold regular discussions with Babcock covering a wide range of programme and supply chain matters. We remain committed to working closely with Babcock to safely deliver submarine support work, including planned maintenance projects. The contract for HMS Vanguard's planned period of extended maintenance and refuel work was awarded in 2015 and is funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The MOD has an existing team in Devonport in support of submarine maintenance delivery; this is part of a long-standing arrangement, which now includes increased performance monitoring.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Through the Public Contract Regulations 2015, all public sector buyers must include 30-day payment terms in new public sector contracts and require that this payment term be passed down the supply chain. Public sector buyers must also publish annually on their payment performance. Her Majesty's Government strongly encourages businesses to report poor payment practice and instances of late payment, including late payment through the supply chain, in public sector contracts to its Mystery Shopper service. Mystery Shopper will then investigate.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence has a contract condition (DEFCON 534) which states that all contractors shall pay subcontractors any sums due under an invoice no later than 30 days from when the contractor has determined the invoice is valid. The number of contracts that explicitly include DEFCON 534, or other clauses to this effect, is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p> more like this
