Skynet: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what weighting will be given to sovereign capability in the procurement of the SKYNET Enduring Capability Satellite System.

Answer

The specification for the next generation of the Skynet communications Satellite obligates the bidders to meet certain requirements related to the UK technical and manufacturing content of their offered solutions. As this is a live competition it is not possible to share details on the relative weightings as they are commercially sensitive.
