DPRTE 2024 is not just an event; it's an ecosystem where modern defence procurement's future is sculpted through skill development, networking, collaboration, and an expansive product showcase. It's an arena that gathers MOD/public sector buyers and private sector organisations, offering a unique window into the innovations and developments steering defence procurement into the future.
This year, James Cartlidge MP, appointed Minister of State in the Ministry of Defence, is confirmed to attend. His presence underscores the event's significance and its central role in shaping defence procurement policies and practices.
For MOD and Public Sector attendees, DPRTE provides unparalleled opportunities to:
- Engage with procurement professionals sharing similar interests.
- Participate in world-class training sessions.
- Network with high-profile speakers and celebrate procurement excellence.
- Meet leading suppliers offering innovative solutions for current and future procurement needs.
Supported by the Procurement Advice and Support Service (PASS), DPRTE also enhances buyers' commercial skills through CPD Certified training, aligning with ongoing procurement reforms. Admission is complimentary for the MOD and the wider public sector, bringing together over 2000 decision-makers.
For the Private Sector, the Ministry of Defence's commitment to spending over £186 billion on equipment and support over the next decade represents a substantial opportunity. The MOD's procurement activities are vital for delivering the Government's growth agenda, with SMEs playing a crucial role in ensuring efficient, effective, and affordable support for the Armed Forces.
DPRTE is an invaluable chance for suppliers to tap into the defence acquisition and supply chain, offering benefits like increased turnover, higher profits, and workforce expansion.
