Defence and security
In defence and security procurement, the procedure, eligibility and access to information depend on the buyer and the contract's security classification.
Alongside capability and price, a defence or security tender may assess clearances, information handling, security of supply and lifecycle support.
Security classification and buyer determine the defence procurement route
A classified national procurement, an NSPA competition and a contract containing industrial-participation terms require different preparation.
Common procurement categories include:
- Equipment, platforms, and integrated systems
- Communications and secure information systems
- Sensors, surveillance, and situational awareness
- Protective equipment and personal kit
- Sustainment, spare parts, and consumables
- Maintenance, repair, and overhaul services
- Training, simulation, and exercise support
- Logistics, storage, and transport
- In-service support and lifecycle management
Defence materiel and classified procurements
Before bidding, confirm the applicable procedure, required clearances and the rules for handling the procurement documents.
NATO-agency business through NSPA
The NATO Support and Procurement Agency uses its own supplier registration and procurement procedures. Eligibility is assessed for each procurement.
Security-of-supply and offset arrangements
Where the tender includes security-of-supply or industrial-participation terms, assess the obligations and evidence against that specific contract.
