<p>Most of our cabling requirements are likely to be sourced by our prime contractors
and there is therefore no need for the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to hold a list of
potential suppliers. When a requirement for cabling is identified the MOD will procure,
wherever possible, through open competition, assessing the tenders to ensure they
meet the standards required before awarding any contract.</p><p>We remain satisfied
that our supplier base can continue to manufacture the cables needed for our current
defence programmes.</p>
