Our SME champion acts as a senior advocate for SMEs across the business, helping to promote fair access to opportunities, raise awareness of supplier challenges, and encourage proportionate approaches to engagement and procurement. Working in support of the wider UK Government and Ministry of Defence SME agenda, the SME champion helps strengthen collaboration with SMEs and supports initiatives that enable innovative and agile businesses to contribute to the delivery of critical defence and security programmes.
