MOD Event - UK National Defence Procurement and Supply Chain Summit (DPRTE) 2026 (Manchester)

The UK Government’s newly announced Defence Investment Plan is unlocking nearly £300 billion of defence investment over the next four years, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the UK defence supply chain.

The DPRTE UK National Defence Procurement & Supply Chain Summit 2026 is a high-level, one-day event designed for organisations operating in, or seeking to grow within, the UK defence market. Set against a backdrop of increased defence spending, procurement reform and a clear government focus on strengthening the supply chain, the summit provides practical insight into how policy, investment and strategy translate into real commercial opportunity.
