Gray report published
An independent review led by Bernard Gray, recently published a report on MOD’s equipment procurement process.
The report identified a number of areas where the acquisition process could be improved, including the need to bring equipment plans into line with likely available resources and the need to improve equipment programme planning, management and delivery.
Minister for Strategic Defence Acquisition Reform, Lord Drayson, believes that the report supports MOD's determination to ensure that the right equipment is delivered in the most efficient way: "We accept most of his recommendations and are getting on with implementing them alongside broader work to develop a future strategy for defence acquisition, which will ensure we deliver as effectively as possible the equipment the Armed Forces need."
Gray will work with the MOD to develop an overall Strategy for Acquisition Reform which will be published in the New Year.
