Contract profit rate

The regulatory framework specifies how contracts that meet the requirements for being qualifying defence contracts (QDCs) or qualifying sub-contracts (QSCs) must be priced. The SSRO's functions include giving guidance on each of these aspects of the regulatory framework and providing an annual assessment to the Secretary of State on the appropriate rates to use in determining contract profit. Our guidance plays an important role in supporting MOD personnel and contractors to apply the regulatory framework and realise the benefits the Act and Regulations seek to achieve.
