Call for Expressions of Interest to support the future of MOD engineering support services

Simon Galt, Managing Director, Aurora Engineering Partnership:

It’s nearly two years since our last call to industry to refresh the membership to the Provider Network for the Engineering Delivery Partner (EDP) programme. It is now the right time for us to again review and strengthen our membership, with the intention to further progress collaboration and innovation in the next phase.

Collaboration and innovation have always been part of the approach to supporting Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and the MOD Front Line Commands. Now, with the refresh of the Provider Network, Aurora EDP is looking to build an improved and diverse community of providers that share its vision for agile, assured and cost effective Engineering Services. This will help it innovate and meet the ever-changing needs of the MOD customer.

Since its launch in December 2018, the Provider Network and Aurora Engineering Partnership have together delivered engineering that matters to DE&S and those on the front line. As a collective, the partnership continues to grow and support DE&S and the wider MOD for engineering service delivery on key national defence programmes.

Aurora EDP has learnt a lot in the last three and a half years, and has improved the transparency in how it works with its Customers, Partners and Provider Network. So, as it enters the next phase of the EDP programme, it is are calling for companies in and outside of the defence sector who are innovative, adaptable, and agile, to register their interest in the Provider Network and help deliver high quality and cost effective solutions for our teams on the front line.

If you would like to know more, please register your interest here and more information will follow shortly.
