Purchased Former Military Equipment last 5 years

Request

I would like a record, itemised and with costings, of any formerly military equipment your force has purchased over the last five years.

This includes equipment bought directly (eg from the Defence Equipment Sales Authority), or indirectly through auctions, websites, surplus stockists, brokers, or any other kind of intermediary.

By 'military' I mean any branch in any country, and I mean 'equipment' broadly, to include vehicles, weapons, uniforms, tools, body armour, sprays, restraints, etc. etc.

Response

I sourced your request to our Finance team, and they have supplied a No Information Held response with the following explanation.

I can confirm that all issued Uniform, restraint equipment & body armour systems purchased via stores are purchased as new items & through recognised supply contracts. NONE of our equipment is purchased from – ‘Defence Equipment Sales Authority), or indirectly through auctions, websites, surplus stockists, brokers, or any other kind of intermediary.
