Team ORION brings together the collective heritage, operational logic, and technical maturity of KBR, Unipart, and IBM under a single unified banner.
As a team, we combine decades of deep defence pedigree, world-class commercial logistics, and cutting-edge digital frameworks to secure high-stakes, zero-fail environments across the entire defence enterprise.
Core pillars of strategic support
Team ORION provides a robust, future-ready framework designed to modernise defence logistics and guarantee mission success, built on three essential pillars:
Mission delivery & operational readiness
Enablement & ways of working
Value, macro scale & continuous defence reform
Low-risk transition: We eliminate operational friction by applying knowledge from our proven track record of managing complex transitions safely from day one. Resilience & surge: Our predictive supply chain models are built specifically to absorb global economic shocks, manage volatile material requirements, and rapidly scale surge capacity at pace. Warfighter readiness: We replace unverified promises with objective success criteria, focusing entirely on maximum availability aligned with real-time frontline requirements.
Digital resilience: We seamlessly modernise and protect legacy tech systems, introducing advanced cloud tracking tools without interrupting active field operations. Partnering culture: We function as a single, joined-up brand with a shared collective purpose, building an integrated team environment rooted in trust and total transparency. Sovereign assurance & national prosperity: Our workforce, infrastructure, and leadership networks are heavily anchored in the UK, guaranteeing independent national capability and localised decision-making.
Whole-force integration: We drive seamless coordination across diverse operational units, government teams, global commercial allies, and small-to-medium enterprise (SME) supply networks. Value & transparency: We manage governance through simple, accountable contract structures designed to lower risk and maximise budgetary value for commercial evaluators. Defence reform: By embedding systems thinking and digital innovation into core logistics structures, we actively update outdated legacy methods while maintaining performance and delivery at scale.

Sovereign value & social impact
Team ORION is dedicated to enhancing UK productivity, driving domestic prosperity, and building long-term institutional trust across our communities.
Sovereign capability & regional growth
Fair access for SME & supply chain partners
Health, resilience & community
We safeguard critical national capabilities by ensuring all primary operational leadership, core decision-making frameworks, and advanced technical infrastructure remain securely anchored within the UK.
We look to maximise the breadth of our supply network by providing small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and local supply chain partners with fair, transparent access to long-term partnerships. By removing traditional operational barriers, we create resilient, collaborative ecosystems that support local economies and foster homegrown innovation.
A resilient supply chain depends entirely on resilient people. Team ORION actively champions mental health awareness and community support by aligning our social value frameworks with proven national programmes, including dedicated partnerships through Unipart with mental health charity Mind, community foodbank network The Trussell Trust, and bomb disposal charity Felix Fund.
At Team ORION, we believe in building meaningful, long-term relationships that unlock the true potential of the UK supply chain.
