Vacancy Description
The SSRO is an Executive Non Departmental Public Body (NDPB) reporting to the Secretary of State for Defence under the terms of the Defence Reform Act 2014. The SSRO must aim to ensure (a) that good value for money is obtained in government expenditure on qualifying defence contracts, and (b) that single source suppliers are paid a fair and reasonable price under those contracts. The SSRO works with industry and MOD to support them in implementing the legislation and maximising the benefits to both industry and the Government of adopting the regulations.
The SSRO is the independent statutory regulator of single source defence procurement and develops guidance to support the legislation, in consultation with all relevant stakeholders. It is also responsible for recommending annually to the Secretary of State for Defence the profit rate to be used for such contracts.
The SSRO can be commissioned to undertake analysis studies by the Secretary of State for Defence, or other bodies if approved by the Secretary of State, in order to support wider understanding in the single source environment.
