How they buy

Across the defence & security notices we currently hold for France, the most common form is the invitation to bid, followed by open tender or invitation to bid and dps. 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.
