We are proposing changes to the way we select comparable companies used as part of determining the annual profit rate for non-competitive defence contracts.

We are consulting on new guidance on the Final Price adjustment (FPA), which allows excess profits or losses arising on a qualifying defence contract or qualifying sub-contract to be shared, rather than falling entirely to the contractor or the MOD.

The Single Source Regulations Office (SSRO) is using its new power to issue guidance: focusing on helping contracting parties better navigate the final price adjustment, which protects from excess profits and losses.
