What is the role of Departmental Planning ?

Departmental Planning delivers a balanced and coherent Defence Programme within the budget allocated to the MOD by HM Treasury:

The MOD planning staffs generate:
- Resource Control Totals (RCTs) for the User and Capability Sponsor
- Programme Operating Costs for DE&S.
The Capability Sponsor identifies the cost of:
- New equipment and associated support in years 1-10
- Supporting in-service equipment in years 5-10.
The User identifies the costs of supporting in-service equipment in years 1-4.
The 10-year Equipment and Support (E&S) Plan brings these component parts together as a single programme.
The E&S Plan is based on a single data set held by Programme and Project Teams. It is used to support decision making across the Acquisition Community.
