About the DPRTE
Defence Community
The DPRTE Defence Community is a year-round information and engagement platform for the UK defence procurement and supply chain sector.
Created to support defence buyers, suppliers, innovators, SMEs, prime contractors and government stakeholders, the platform provides a central destination for news, market intelligence, procurement opportunities, events and industry insight.
Building on the success of DPRTE, the UK's leading defence procurement event, the community extends those connections beyond the exhibition hall — helping organisations stay informed, discover opportunities and engage with the wider defence marketplace throughout the year.
Supporting a stronger, more connected UK defence procurement community.
By bringing together trusted news, procurement intelligence, industry expertise and networking opportunities in one place, we help organisations navigate an evolving defence landscape — and identify opportunities for growth, collaboration and innovation.
