Defence Industry Tender Support Program

Tasmanian industry’s capability to meet the demands of the defence and security sector has increased significantly in recent years. Contracts that contribute to multi-billion dollar projects are increasingly attainable to the wide range of niche advanced manufacturers and advanced technology enterprises that now thrive in this state.

The Defence Industry Tender Support Program, a key component of the new Tasmanian Defence Industry Strategy 2029 (PDF 2.7 MB), aims to assist existing defence and security suppliers, as well as those that are hoping to enter that market.

This program provides companies with the opportunity to utilise a consultancy, or other external service, which can be an essential part of enhancing a business’s chance of success when developing a submission to an Approach to Market for a defence or related security sector procurement.
