Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Industry Feedback Questionnaire
As you may be aware, DE&S is currently subject to a House of Commons Defence Committee inquiry. Concurrently, as an organisation it is refreshing the DE&S 2025 strategy in light of a newly released integrated review and a major shock in the international geopolitical system. Both events have provided a strong impetus for DE&S to both look inwardly and outwardly.
To provide a comprehensive understanding DE&S are looking to the industrial community to provide their experiences both on how they've worked with the organisation, and if applicable, how they have found working with other nations. To do so, industry is invited to participate in the following questionnaire, please complete by 12 Apr 2023.
