Let’s Talk BICS: What Aerospace & Defence Manufacturers Need to Know Now
The British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS) may not launch until 2027, but for aerospace and defence manufacturers, now is the time to start understanding what the scheme could mean for your business.
This practical webinar will help ADS members prepare for the opportunities and considerations likely to come with BICS. We’ll explore expected eligibility criteria, energy thresholds, and why qualification may depend more on what you manufacture than how your business is categorised - making this highly relevant across aerospace components, precision engineering, fabrication, advanced materials, and wider defence supply chains.
We’ll also cover the relationship between BICS and existing EII relief schemes, the importance of operational energy data, and why businesses that assess their position early will be best placed when applications open.
For manufacturers operating in energy-intensive, cost-sensitive environments, BICS could present a significant opportunity to reduce operational costs and strengthen competitiveness across the supply chain.
