Why Require NAS From Your Defence Contractors?

Defence procurement carries obligations that go beyond standard commercial supply chain management. Bribery Act, Money Laundering, Freedom of Information, and Public Contracts Regulations all impose specific duties on MOD and DIO as contracting authorities. Contractor compliance must be independently verified, not assumed.

The Risk Without It

Bribery Act 2010 Section 7 creates liability for the contracting authority if a contractor commits bribery and adequate due diligence procedures cannot be evidenced
Modern Slavery Act obligations require active supply chain transparency — self-declaration by contractors is not sufficient for MOD procurement frameworks
Money Laundering Regulations impose due diligence obligations on high-value public authority contracts — contractor compliance must be evidenced
Freedom of Information Act obligations extend to contractors handling information on behalf of the MOD as a public authority
Public Contracts Regulations require demonstrable supply chain compliance procedures on all defence framework and direct contract awards
An uncertified contractor incident on a defence estate creates operational, legal, and reputational consequences that are difficult to contain
