Other Information

The Authority is aware that misinformation has circulated regarding the VIRTUS Recompete procurements and is publishing this PIN in order to provide clarity to the market. Whilst the project is aware of the Land Industrial Strategy, at present there is no directive for the VIRTUS project to focus upon sourcing exclusively from the UK. Thank you for your continued interest in the Virtus Re-Compete.
