The aim of this website is to guide companies through some of the steps they need to follow if they wish - either directly or indirectly - to sell to the MoD.

Every year the Ministry of Defence (MoD) spends around £15 billion on a vast range of goods and services.
The MoD is British industry's largest single customer; at present is has 32,000 suppliers. The MoD's objective is to obtain the best long-term value for money in its contracts. It has around 1,800 buyers committed to purchasing high-quality goods and services at the most economic prices and best value for money terms.

Quality and reliability are important to the MoD:

• To compromise them could put Service personnel at risk and lead to increased costs for maintenance,repair and replacement.
• As well as offering quality, MoD wants firms competing for work to be as innovative as possible - suppliers who make the most efficient use of industrial resources.
  

As with any large organisation, set procedures have been laid down which must be followed if companies wish to sell to the MoD. To assist companies from the UK and overseas who are looking to the MoD as a potential market for their goods and services, the Defence Suppliers Service (DSS) exists to provide information and help.
