Additionally, it opens avenues for companies experienced in providing professional security and assurance services to the Ministry of Defence, leveraging the specialised nature of the work to foster long-term business growth. Businesses with the capability to support transition activities on the central procurement pathway for security support will be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future.
