12 regions · 38 entry points · 5-step buyer routing workflow
This map is the buyer's regional routing guide for DEFONEOS — the UK sovereign public-services OS. 12 UK regions × 38 named entry points (DASA regional challenge offices × UK Defence & Security Regional Engagement teams × MOD DE&S delivery teams × UK SPOS regional representatives × Defence Sourcing Portal supplier registration) × per-region force priority mapping × per-region DEFONEOS MCP coverage matrix.
The map is BFT-signed (ED25519 / RFC 8032 / 2026-Q3 rotation) and curl-verifiable. Every row carries a per-region email/postal entry point and an explicit "DEFONEOS fit" note. Built on top of UK MOD regional procurement transparency data (published 2026-Q2) — no fabricated data.
