Corporate Plan 2025 to 2026: Strategic Priorities for Defence Equipment and Support
Summary
The UK Ministry of Defence's Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) published its Corporate Plan for financial year 2025 to 2026. The plan outlines three strategic priorities: supporting UK operations, Ukraine, and the continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent; implementing the new DE&S operating model alongside wider Defence Reform and the Strategic Defence Review; and delivering equipment programme priorities for UK Armed Forces by accelerating time to contract. The plan is framed around the 'Today, Tomorrow, Together' strategy.
What changed
DE&S published its Corporate Plan for FY 2025 to 2026, establishing three strategic priorities: continued support for UK operations, Ukraine, and the continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent; implementation and embedding of the new DE&S operating model alongside Defence Reform and the Strategic Defence Review; and delivery of equipment programme priorities by accelerating time to contract.
Suppliers and industry partners in the defence sector should monitor DE&S priorities and operating model changes to align their engagement strategies. The plan signals a focus on delivery performance and accelerated contracting timelines, which may affect how defence contractors interact with DE&S on programme commitments.
