This two-day event offers a comprehensive platform for networking, learning and sharing best practice, with a focus on the latest developments shaping the future of defence procurement.

Capita is proud to be a sponsor of DPRTE 2025 – the UK’s leading defence procurement and supply chain event. Visit us at stand 45, join our panel discussion “Supplier co-design: the challenges and opportunities” on 27 March at 12:50, or arrange a face-to-face meeting with us via DPRTE Meet the Buyer on the second day of the event to discuss how our expertise can support you in this challenging environment.

On Day 2 of the event, 27 March, we will be hosting a panel discussion “Supplier Co-Design: the Challenges and Opportunities” at 12:50 in the Keynote Arena. The panel will feature:

• Hannah Boreham, Associate Commercial Head, Artificial Intelligence, Defence Digital Commercial, MOD
• Nick Barras, Head of Professional Service and Contract Management, Defence Digital, MOD
• Isobel Baylis, Account Executive, National Security and Public Safety, AWS Professional Services

Our discussion will explore how fostering a collaborative approach between suppliers and the MOD can lead to improved specifications, beneficial commercial outcomes for all stakeholders, and drive the right behaviours. This methodology promotes innovation, ensures mutual understanding, and aligns objectives, ultimately resulting in more effective and efficient solutions. Embracing co-design will enable both the MOD and suppliers to address complex requirements and deliver value-driven results.
