Chapter 1 - Finance

Tables 1.18 and 1.18a have been subject to a number of revisions following the recovery of additional data relating to miscellaneous contract transactions. This has resulted from a data system change during the second half of 2007-08. Click here to find out more about the background to these revisions.

A revised Table 1.18 is presented below. 30 organisations (shown in green font) are new to the table and 22 organisations which appeared on the original table listing have moved payment bandings (shown in red font). The addition of one new organisation (Le Grand Annington PLC) to Table 1.18a has been necessary as a result of these changes.

Table 1.18 Organisations paid £5 million or more by the Ministry of Defence in 2007/2008
This table shows a listing of the UK and foreign owned organisations, including defence suppliers and intermediate bodies paid through the Financial Management Shared Service Centre (FMSSC) - formally the Defence Bills Agency (DBA). The term 'defence suppliers' includes defence contractors, Defence Agencies and other Government Departments. The FMSSC is responsible for the majority of such payments (around 95% by value) made by MOD. Other payments are made, for example, via British Defence Staff (United States), MOD Trading Funds and through local cash offices. The table is split into payment groups with the organisations shown in alphabetical order. Company and organisation names have been reproduced (at the 1 April 2008 position) directly from the truncated entries recorded on the FMSSC database and may appear in a shortened format in places. Where a contract is novated during the year, annual payments are shown against the new 'owner' (company or entity) of that contract.
