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.
