The term 'non-public sector entities' has been taken to refer to all UK and foreign owned private companies and firms with whom the MOD contracts. It includes all subsidiaries and individual units of a company and is therefore not organised by holding company. A listing aggregated to holding company could only be provided at disproportionate cost due to the high volume of work required to map the changing corporate structure and ownership of large defence suppliers on a yearly basis.
The listings exclude all public sector bodies as listed in the "Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005" including all Government Departments, Agencies, Trading Funds, Non departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) and Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) entities.
Payment of grants, credits and subsidies under statutory obligations for which the Ministry of Defence is responsible are out of the scope of this question.
