Defence Procurement Agency (DPA)

The Defence Procurement Agency (DPA) was a UK government organization responsible for acquiring military equipment, technology, and services to support national defense. It managed the procurement process, ensuring that armed forces received modern, effective resources efficiently and cost-effectively. By overseeing supplier contracts and procurement policies, the DPA aimed to deliver high-quality defense capabilities. In 2007, it was integrated into the Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) organization to streamline defense procurement and logistics.
