Unipart, KBR and IBM have formed Team ORION, a joint venture to provide supply chain, defence infrastructure, and digital capabilities to the UK Ministry of Defence under a single operating model.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Supply Chain and Defense Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply components or services into UK defence logistics, Team ORION is now your single commercial contract point instead of three separate buyers. Unipart, KBR and IBM have consolidated their operations — call their procurement lead before this month closes to map where your part fits.
