<p>As part of its standard procurement processes, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) requires
potential suppliers to confirm whether they have been convicted in the last five years
of certain offences set out in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. These include
offences relating to fraud and corruption.</p><p>Since Financial Year 2015-16, the
MOD has placed over 14,000 contracts, and decisions on exclusion are made case-by-case.
Information on how many suppliers have been excluded from procurement is therefore
not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p>
