Defence Tender Writing & Contract Bid Support
Writing a successful Defence tender requires more than good writing — it requires a deep understanding of ASDEFCON contract structures, Defence procurement evaluation processes, and the specific capability requirements of each opportunity. Public Sector Contracts combines tender writing expertise with genuine Defence industry knowledge to produce submissions that are technically credible, compliant, and competitive.
Whether you’re a prime contractor preparing a major capability bid, or an SME responding to a RFT for Defence services, our team provides the specialist support needed to develop a winning submission. We understand the language of Defence procurement, the requirements of ASDEFCON, and what Defence evaluators are looking for.
We’ve supported Defence industry SMEs and prime contractors responding to RFTs and EOIs within Land capability domains, drawing on our team’s hands-on ASDEFCON and ILS experience to strengthen technical credibility in every submission.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a Defence tender different from a standard government tender?
Defence tenders are typically governed by ASDEFCON contract templates, which impose more detailed technical and compliance requirements than standard government RFTs, with heavier weighting on technical and capability evidence during evaluation.
What is ASDEFCON and how does it affect my tender response?
ASDEFCON is the suite of standardised contract templates used by the Australian Department of Defence for procurement. It affects your tender response by setting out specific structures, deliverables, and compliance requirements that your submission needs to directly address, often in more technical detail than civilian government tenders.
Do you support tenders for AIC (Australian Industry Capability) requirements?
Yes, we can support businesses in addressing Australian Industry Capability requirements within their tender response, demonstrating how the contract will contribute to local industry capability and content.
Can you help with Defence industry participation plans?
Yes, we can assist with developing Defence industry participation plans as part of a broader tender or program response, where this is a requirement of the procurement.
How early in the tender process should we engage you?
Ideally as soon as a tender or EOI is published, or even earlier if you’re aware an opportunity is coming. Defence tenders often require more lead time for technical content development than civilian tenders, so early engagement gives us the best chance to build a strong, well-evidenced response.
