Unipart, KBR, and IBM have formed Team ORION to bid for UK Ministry of Defence contracts, combining supply chain logistics, defence experience, and digital capability into a single consortium. The partnership targets complex defence operations and infrastructure modernisation.
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, you now have a single point of contact with proven MoD access and the scale to absorb your output. Conversely, if you were selling directly to the MoD, you've just lost a customer—Team ORION will now build their own solutions or consolidate suppliers.
