I'll pick up where you left off with the member who spoke just before me. You were talking about working with businesses.
The Defence Investment Agency website states that there will be more collaboration. We can read the following: “will work more directly with businesses”; “clearer contract solicitation documents”; and “this will speed up the awarding of contracts”.
On a practical level, what can we expect in terms of clearer bid documents sent in response to calls for bids? How will you ensure that the rigour required for the process isn't compromised? You want to move faster without cutting corners.
