About Security and Defence Procurement

Security and defence equipment procurement covers protective, surveillance, and emergency response equipment used by public safety organizations worldwide. Under CPV division 35, this category includes fire-fighting vehicles and equipment, police equipment, surveillance and alarm systems, personal protective equipment, military equipment, border security systems, rescue equipment, and disaster preparedness supplies.

Defence ministries, police forces, fire services, border control agencies, civil protection authorities, and private security oversight bodies are the primary contracting authorities. Defence spending has increased significantly following geopolitical developments, with member states committing to higher defence budgets and collaborative procurement. The Baltic states, as NATO members, maintain active defence procurement programmes for equipment modernization.

Security and defence equipment suppliers operate within specialized procurement frameworks that may involve classified requirements, security clearance for personnel, offset obligations, and specific national security considerations. Technical specifications are often highly detailed, with rigorous testing and certification requirements.
