Many purchasing agreements sit on the MOD Framework Library, its central list of framework routes to market.
Procurement spend from central entities makes up 66% of overall UK public spend.
Over the past 5 years, most of the Ministry of Defence's contract awards have been in IT services, architectural and engineering services and repair and maintenance.
