COVID-19: Letter from MOD Commercial Director Supply Chain

A letter from Jim Carter, MOD Commercial Director Supply Chain to Defence Industry Partners which covers MOD support to suppliers in response to COVID-19.

It’s clear that the current outbreak of COVID-19 is already having an impact on many defence suppliers, who may struggle to meet their contractual obligations, and this will put their financial viability, ability to retain staff and their supply chains at risk. 

This is why MOD is taking action to support companies to both maintain service delivery and retain staff during these challenging times. 

The letter and related guidance documents attached below are from Jim Carter, MOD Commercial Director Supply Chain, to Defence industry partners.

This letter shares some additional guidance covering the MOD’s support to suppliers in response to COVID-19.

Specifically, the MOD has published two Defence Procurement Policy Notes (DPPNs), which are applicable to all Defence and Security authorities, and which supersede PPNs 01/20 and 02/20 issued by Cabinet Office.

The department has also issued guidance on the furloughing of staff and its approach to the use of interim payments.

The new guidance issued includes:

  1. Letter from Jim Carter (MOD Commercial Director Supply Chain)
  2. Defence Procurement Policy Note 01-20
  3. Defence Procurement Policy Note 02-20
  4. Defence Procurement Policy Note 02-20 – FAQs
  5. Furlough & Interim Payment Policy Note

You can find all five documents below. f you have any questions on this new guidance, please contact techUK’s Head of Defence Programme Fred Sugden at fred.sugden@techuk.org
