Our Corporate Plan for 2024 to 2027 sets out our strategic direction for the next three years, and identifies the priorities and projects we will pursue to deliver our statutory functions.
During the period of the Plan, the SSRO will support the government in delivering the optimal operation of the single source regulatory framework. In doing so, we will work towards four areas of strategic focus, which will be incorporated into our work and engagement.
-
Relevance. Our work will be focused on the most important strategic issues. We will provide insights, guidance and information that is useful to industry and the MOD and contributes to meaningful improvements in defence procurement.
-
Visibility. We will communicate our work, and the value we bring to the sector and defence procurement outcomes. We will focus on engagement at all levels with MOD and industry. We will also be more visible on the ground, for example through providing enhanced support on contract-specific queries and encouraging MOD users to exploit the data in our Defence Contract Analysis and Reporting System (DefCARS). We will adopt a wider, enhanced communications approach, to increase the impact and reach of our work.
-
Accessibility. We will ensure that our services and guidance are easy to engage with. For example, our pricing and reporting guidance will be straightforward to use, the support we provide to stakeholders will be accessible and the DefCARS interface will be intuitive.
-
Trust. We will build our stakeholders confidence in the SSRO through the skills, knowledge and experience we bring to bear. Through our workforce planning, we are building a skilled, agile and engaged team with commercial understanding and experience. We will leverage the positive progress made to improve compliance and utilisation of the data in DefCARS, working closely with the MOD
We have developed a range of quantitative and qualitative key performance indicators, designed to be stretching but realistic, to help us assess whether we are achieving our aims.
The SSROs Board will monitor delivery of the Corporate Plan. The plan will be updated each year.
