The Authority can now update industry partners on common themes within the PME responses received and key updates.

LIOS is a once in a generation opportunity to begin the transformation of Land vehicle support from 2026, with a full LIOS enterprise in place from 2030) and, in doing so, bring MOD and Industry closer to delivering Defence’s intent in accordance with the Land Industrial Strategy.
