MOD contracts are won on the scorecard
Innovative defence companies do not usually lose because the technology is weak. They lose because procurement is scored in a structured way — and primes know how to play that system.

Requirements are shaped early
By the time the tender appears, primes have often influenced it.
Bids are scored, not judged
Strong solutions still lose if they don’t map cleanly to criteria.

Winning is about score, not cost alone.
Capture starts early
Most of the work happens before the competition opens.
