Securing additional UK industrial, capability, and economic benefit from selected overseas defence and security procurements.

Details
The UK Offset Policy sets out how the Ministry of Defence will secure additional industrial, capability, and economic benefits for the United Kingdom from selected defence and national security acquisitions from overseas suppliers.
The policy will be applied selectively and proportionately. Where it applies, an overseas supplier will enter into a separate Offset Agreement and deliver additional activity supporting UK defence capability, industrial resilience, skills, innovation, supply chains and economic growth.
The policy forms part of the Defence Industrial Strategy and the Government’s wider approach to ensuring that defence investment strengthens national security and delivers long-term value for the United Kingdom.
