| Abstract | The paper aims to address the issue of achieving sustainable competitive advantage within the UK defence sector by improving supply chain performance. The paper looks at two defence sector change programmes, which have emerged in recent years with the aim of achieving sustainable competitive advantage through 1) quality management and 2) sustainable procurement practices. The study is conceptual and is based on an initial review of the literature and comparative content analysis of the two frameworks. A conceptual framework that integrates the two in order to achieve sustainable competitive advantage is proposed. The paper represents the first stage in a four-stage research study and the objectives and methodologies for subsequent stages are outlined.
