Fascinating review by the Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S)... 🧐 Following a review, multiple issues, related to procurement within the UK military, were found by the organisation, among others: 📌 internal challenges, 📌 unrealistic funding allocations, 📌 ineffective prioritisation. Unsure what the solutions would be but the issues mentioned by the DE&S are also applicable to other public Contracting Authorities. 🤔 #defense #challenges #publicsector https://lnkd.in/eRtMqdPc
