Business continuity planning

Your commitment

In agreeing to this charter, you are acknowledging that you shall have a business continuity plan in place that preserves the integrity of the supply chain contract that you have with us. This is of importance to us due to the critical nature of our missions, which often rely on very high levels of mission availability.

At a minimum standard of best practice, we would expect you to hold a business continuity plan that:

• identifies risks and potential business impacts through a risk register that is regularly reviewed and updated by your leadership team
• has an effective plan to respond to any material effects that occur from risks being manifest which may result in your company not being able to deliver its contractual obligations to us
• has established roles and responsibilities within your business to communicate and respond to material effects that are likely to disrupt the supply chain
• there is awareness within your business that a business continuity plan exists and will be actioned given certain scenarios
• there has been sufficient testing and training to stress test the plan and those responsible for delivering it

If you do not have a business continuity plan or would like to improve it then the following resource may be useful to you:
