Defence Industrial Strategy (DIS) Offset Written Consultation

Written by UK Government | Oct 23, 2025 1:00:00 AM
This consultation seeks input on three questions on key aspects of offset policies. The policies support the Defence Industrial Strategy commitment to explore measures to support UK-based businesses.
 
The consultation closes at 11:59pm on 23 December 2025
 
The DIS recognised that we have seen offsets work effectively to achieve secondary benefits from defence procurement spend in other countries.

It also recognised there are both benefits and risks to an offset regime and that this policy must be explored and developed in partnership with the defence sector.

The Ministry of Defence is launching a consultation to seek expert views to further inform development of a possible UK offset policy.
