<p>The Defence and Security Public Contracts (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
have been laid before Parliament to allow the legal framework for defence procurement
to continue to function in the event of a 'no-deal' exit from the EU. This statutory
instrument will correct deficiencies to ensure the law continues to function properly
and remove any reciprocal obligations that are no longer appropriate from exit day.
This measure will provide the continuity and legal certainty required by public procurers
and suppliers.</p><p>More broadly, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) continues to engage
with Government Departments and with key suppliers to identify risks and opportunities
that may arise should the UK leave the EU without a deal. This includes extensive
work on MOD supply chains and preparations for any emerging contract issues.</p>
