Answer
I can confirm that Ministry of Defence (MOD) direct expenditure with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the UK was £1.2 billion in 2024-25.
4% of MOD direct expenditure with UK industry is with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises.
The most recent spend figures available can be found here: MOD regional expenditure statistics with industry: 2024/25 - GOV.UK
