How they buy

Across the defence & security notices we currently hold for Australia, the most common form is the open tender or invitation to bid, followed by rfi, request for quotation and request for proposal. Each has its own rules — see RFP, RFQ and EOI compared and tendering procedures explained.

What qualifies you

Defence and security procurement covers equipment, uniforms, surveillance systems, security manpower and specialised services. Eligibility is often restrictive — expect registration, clearance and compliance requirements, and in some cases domestic-manufacturing or offset conditions. Read the qualification criteria closely before investing effort in a bid.

Before committing effort, it is worth running a deliberate bid/no-bid decision and checking your submission against the responsiveness checklist.
