Defence Contracts and Tenders
See open defence tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Defence procurement covers equipment, logistics, estates and support for the Ministry of Defence, the Army, Royal Navy and RAF, plus armed forces welfare and training work. Notices range from warship spares and aircraft equipment to explosives, protective clothing and bulk supply items such as fasteners, batteries and industrial gases.
Much of it runs through Defence Equipment and Support, the MOD's own procurement arm, though the Army, Navy and RAF also run their own competitions and industry engagement events.

How do I find open MOD contracts and tenders?
Search Stotles for live defence notices by keyword, buyer or CPV code, and filter by stage to see what is open now versus what has already closed or been awarded. Platform-wide, 0 notices are added to Stotles each week, so new defence opportunities surface as they are published rather than only once a portal lists them.
What does UK defence procurement cover?
It spans equipment, estates, logistics, IT and welfare support bought by the Ministry of Defence and the three armed services. That includes warship and aircraft spares, weapons and ammunition, protective clothing, vehicle repair, explosive ordnance handling, and bulk supply categories such as fasteners, batteries and industrial gases that keep bases and fleets running.
Which CPV codes apply to defence contracts?
Defence notices carry a wide spread of CPV codes rather than one dedicated defence classification, spanning weapons and ammunition, aircraft and vehicle equipment, and broader administration and support services. Most notices carry two or three codes together, since a contract for aircraft spares also touches repair and maintenance categories, so keyword search catches contracts a single code would miss.
Who buys defence equipment and services in the UK?
The Ministry of Defence is the largest buyer, much of it channelled through Defence Equipment and Support, its own procurement and support organisation. The Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force also run their own competitions and industry engagement events directly, alongside joint commands covering digital, intelligence and logistics work across all three services.
Are defence contracts open to smaller suppliers?
Yes. Alongside large equipment and platform contracts, the corpus includes smaller notices for training, welfare, catering and bulk supply items such as clothing, tools and consumables. These sit well below the scale of a warship or aircraft programme and draw from a wider supplier base than the prime contractors behind the largest MOD programmes.
