Ministry of Defence—UK government department responsible for defence policy and armed forces.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is the UK government department responsible for defence policy, the armed forces, and military procurement. MOD is the primary customer for UK defence contractors. MOD sets security requirements for defence contracts, manages security clearances, and oversees List X facilities. Defence suppliers must understand MOD requirements, processes, and culture to succeed in this market.
Why It Matters
The DSC Perspective:
MOD is the UK defence market's dominant customer. Understanding MOD requirements, procurement processes, and security expectations is essential for defence business success.
