Yes the British MOD has a record of being very good at logistics [1]
"One country that has achieved an unparalleled level of efficiency and responsiveness in its logistics and sustainment activities is the United Kingdom (UK). The British Ministry of Defense (MOD) has wholeheartedly embraced outsourcing many of these functions to the private sector."
Also of interest:
"One of the primary reasons why the MOD is willing and able to enter into long-term PBL-based service and support contracts with private companies, not just British firms but global providers, is because of its attitude towards the private sector. The MOD views the private sector as a positive contributor to their mission. It works hard to establish a collaborative relationship. MOD officials are demanding and insist on adherence to contracting requirements. But they treat the private companies as partners, not adversaries."

- shrikant 6y agoI had the good fortune of first-hand experience of working with the MoD for a small slice of the mobile testing unit logistics, and would absolutely echo the sentiments expressed in that blurb. The whole article is a fascinating read, especially when I noticed that it was written in 2016 :-O
