Additions

This edition of the Trade, Industry and Contracts bulletin includes a new table and related figures on Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement expenditure with the United States Government. The data presents a time series of MOD expenditure against FMS agreements as well as details of some of the top projects within the FMS portfolio. This is reported in addition to other payments by MOD Core Department to UK and foreign owned organisations, and not included within existing totals.

Revision

A scheduled revision of 2022’s Trade, Industry and Contracts bulletin was made in February 2023. This provided an update on the latest UK Defence and Security Export statistics which were unavailable at the time of initial publication.

In the same revision, the competition and SME status of newly placed contracts in 2021/22 were also reassessed. This update addressed issues on the late reporting of contracts and uplifted both the total value and number of new contracts by 2%.
