MoD SUPPLIER APPLICATION

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is British industry’s largest single customer and every year the MoD spends around £16 billion on a vast range of goods and services.

Quality and reliability are of paramount significance and importance to the MoD and with this come certain expectations from the MoD toward companies wishing to supply to them.

Companies must have the industry minimum credentials such as health and safety and trade skills, and the necessary equipment appropriately certified to conduct the work. However, in addition to these requirements, companies applying for approval who are members of the FIA have the added credential of membership of an industry organisation, something the MoD strongly encourages.

Within the last two or three years the MoD has been widely criticised for the ‘red tape’ and difficulties facing businesses trying to break into the MoD supply chain and gain the necessary approvals to qualify for consideration as a possible supplier.

After many months of background activity the FIA, in conjunction with the MoD supply chain group, produced a simple one page Application Form which enables a
fast-track approval for FIA members.

Members wishing to gain access to these opportunities should complete the MoD Supplier Application Form and submit it to the FIA Secretariat for onward processing

From receipt of an application form to completion of process is normally six to eight weeks but many are completed within two weeks of submission.

The MoD Liaison Director, Simon Comben, said ‘This proves that the UK MoD supply chain is serious about opening up supplier activity to new companies and are keen to encourage all types of business to offer possible new supplier options to the MoD’.
