Bidders are incentivised to demonstrate how they intend to strengthen the UK supply chain through increased security of supply, supply chain capability development and the mitigation of supply chain vulnerabilities. I cannot discuss specific criteria or their weighting at this time as to do so would be prejudicial to the commercial interests of the Ministry of Defence.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 10/04/2019 14:19:31 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
