Single Source Defence Contracts Regulation

The Single Source Regulations Office oversees pricing and profit controls for defence contracts awarded without competitive tendering, ensuring value for money on sensitive national security procurement. The regulatory framework sets allowable costs, profit margins, and qualification standards for single-source contractors. The regime is currently active with ongoing guidance development and a 2020 framework review consultation.
