Helping stakeholders feel confident dealing with contracts in the regulatory framework

Description of the ADS / SSRO / MOD webinar on 17 July 2024, and provision of presentation slides.

The aim of the webinar was to help ADS members feel confident in dealing with contracts that may be subject to the regulatory framework. We also explained how to access the support available from both the SSRO and the MOD to assist in successfully delivering contractual commitments and legal obligations. And along the way we also busted some myths and misconceptions about the regime!

Our Chief Executive John Russell - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) and Chief Regulatory Officer Joanne Watts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) were joined by Charly Wason, the Head of the MOD’s Single Source Contract Regulations Review Team. Jo reflected:

It was really useful to ensure that the people who are managing contracts under the regulatory framework understand the support that is available to them and how to access this. These webinars are one way in which we make ourselves accessible and visible to our stakeholders and gain insightful feedback from them.

We are grateful to ADS for providing the platform for the presentation and thank their members who attended and shared their views and questions. Ieuan Trigger, ADS’ Head of Defence Commercial commented:

The webinar was a fantastic session: it was open, engaging and very informative. ADS’s members and Industry were able to improve their understanding of the Single Source Contract Regulations, bust some myths and hear from the experts in Government. These events by the SSRO and the MOD are important in helping Industry engage better with the MOD, to enable Industry to deliver the robust industrial base Defence requires. Thank you to John, Jo, and Charly. I look forward to our next session in the Autumn.
