We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We (Wiser) WeAreWiser Ltd will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 (Wiser) WeAreWiser Ltd recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- Armed Forces Friendly
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
We also pledge the following:

-Offering a guaranteed interview for Service members, their spouses, partners or veterans

2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Growth Gateway: Investing in green sectors in Africa, cold chain logistics investment case
Source: gov.uk (2025-09-17)

Africa’s cold chain logistics market has the potential to grow to £4 billion by addressing food loss, improving affordability, increasing strategic investment and infrastructure development.

This presentation and summary was prepared by the Growth Gateway programme team in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group. It aims to support stakeholders in understanding Africa’s cold chain logistics market, currently valued at £360 million, with the potential to grow to £4 billion.

The document analyses the cold chain logistics market in Africa, outlines the growth drivers and market dynamics, identifies success factors and operational models for project viability, and suggests strategic pathways for UK investors to engage with the sector. It serves as both an investment case and a practical guide to navigating barriers such as financing, regulation, and demand risk in cold chain logistics across the continent.

Environment Agency charge proposals for simpler recycling
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-15)

We want your views on proposed new hourly rates for businesses or occupiers of relevant non-domestic premises that are not complying with the requirements of simpler recycling: workplace recycling in England.

We are consulting on our proposal to introduce a new hourly rate (time and materials charge) for businesses or occupiers of relevant non-domestic premises that are not complying with the requirements of simpler recycling: workplace recycling in England (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/simpler-recycling-workplace-recycling-in-england) (simpler recycling). This includes micro-businesses who will not come into scope of simpler recycling until 31 March 2027.

Government policy on delivering simpler recycling in England (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/simpler-recycling-in-england-policy-update/simpler-recycling-in-england-policy-update), requires dry recyclable waste to be collected separately from food waste and residual waste. This applies for waste collected from businesses and relevant non-domestic premises from 31 March 2025 (except micro-firms with less than 10 full time equivalent employees, who are exempt until 31 March 2027).

From 31 March 2025, simpler recycling requires businesses and occupiers of relevant non-domestic premises in England to present dry recyclable waste (paper and card, plastic, metal, glass), food waste and residual (non-recyclable) waste, separated from each other in accordance with the arrangements made with their waste collector. The requirement also exists for waste collectors to collect recyclable waste separately from other relevant (residual) waste for recycling or composting. Refer to the glossary at the end of this document for definitions of terms used in this document, such as relevant non-domestic premises.

The simpler recycling requirements will be a significant step towards meeting the government’s ambition to recycle 65% of municipal waste by 2035. Failure to regulate would have a detrimental effect on the environment and reduce the chances of this target being met. Our new regulatory service will help us achieve increased recycling rates and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from landfill.

We are committed to making sure our charges are fair and transparent. We want them to reflect the full cost of the chargeable services we provide.

IMPS03220 - Import entry procedures: release of goods where VAT is to be paid, deferred or postponed and the amount of VAT cannot be established
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-09)


Registered taxable persons

Importers who are registered for VAT may either:
- deposit the potential VAT along with any other charges potentially due (for miscellaneous cash deposits, input tax evidence will not be issued until the deposit is adjusted)
or
- pay VAT outright on a value inclusive of the potential duty and/or other charges. In this case, evidence for input tax deduction will be issued and no subsequent adjustment will be made for VAT purposes even if the amount of VAT paid turns out to be incorrect. Where an importer chooses this option then they may use Postponed VAT Accounting and the full amount should appear on the monthly VAT statement and be accounted for through the VAT return.
Directions for completing import declarations to exercise this option are given in the Tariff, Volume 3 Part 3

Where a trader wishes to use PVA but the total amount of import VAT cannot be fully established then they must declare the maximum amount possible and then adjust amounts down on their VAT returns as required.

Non-registered persons

Importers who are not registered for VAT must in all cases include the potential VAT in their deposit.

Guidelines for AI procurement
Source: gov.uk (2025-01-29)

A summary of best practice addressing specific challenges of acquiring Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in government.

Description

AI is a technology that has the potential to greatly improve our public services by reducing costs, enhancing quality, and freeing up valuable time of frontline staff.

Recognising this, the UK Government published the Data Ethics Framework (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/data-ethics-framework) and A Guide to using AI in the Public Sector (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/a-guide-to-using-artificial-intelligence-in-the-public-sector) to enable public bodies to adopt AI systems in a way that works for everyone in society.

These new procurement guidelines will help inform and empower buyers in the public sector, helping them to evaluate suppliers, then confidently and responsibly procure AI technologies for the benefit of citizens.

MHRA’s 2024–25 Annual Report and Accounts and Impact Report show progress on safety, innovation, and regulatory excellence
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-21)

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published its 2024–25 Annual Report and Accounts, and accompanying Impact Report.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has published its 2024–25 Annual Report and Accounts, and accompanying Impact Report, demonstrating how we have enhanced patient safety across the UK, restored our performance to ensure we are meeting regulatory timelines, and sharing our success in enabling access to life-changing medical products.

As an executive agency of the Department of Health and Social Care, the MHRA plays a critical role in protecting public health while supporting the UK’s £100 billion life sciences sector. Over the past year, the agency has significantly improved its core operations by enhancing safety systems, clearing licensing backlogs, and helping bring safe innovative treatments and technologies to patients faster.

Highlights of the MHRA’s work in 2024–25 include:
- Clearing all statutory backlogs by March 2025 and consistently meeting statutory targets for clinical trials.
- Approving more than 2,000 licences for medicines, including 54 new medicines, such as treatments for Alzheimer’s, rare diseases, and cancer.
- Assessing over 5,000 clinical trial applications and launching the UK’s most significant clinical trial regulatory reform in over two decades.
- Supporting patient safety through the assessment of over 100,000 adverse drug reaction reports and blocking over 1.5 million unregulated online listings.
- Piloting a world-first AI Airlock to safely develop artificial intelligence in medical devices.
- Providing over 127,000 units of biological standards worldwide and launching new World Health Organisation-endorsed standards to strengthen global pandemic preparedness.
The reports also reflect the MHRA’s strengthened focus on patient and public engagement, environmental sustainability, and global regulatory collaboration, with over £7 million in research grants supporting cutting-edge regulatory science.

The reports also highlight the MHRA’s focus on strengthening internal capability and real-world evidence. Through the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the agency continues to support public health research with anonymised data from UK GP practices.

Internally, the MHRA has enhanced its digital infrastructure, improved cyber resilience, and modernised customer services, while investing in its people through graduate schemes, apprenticeships, and strong governance.

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.
