Procurement and Bid Advisory

Our practice focuses on advising clients across the full lifecycle of defence procurement processes under the Defence Acquisition Procedure, 2020 (DAP) and the Defence Procurement Manual, 2009 (DPM). We offer guidance on procurement classifications including ‘Buy (Indian)’, ‘Buy and Make’, and the Strategic Partnership (SP) Model, aligning our clients’ participation with policy objectives and indigenisation mandates.

 

We also advise on bid strategy, eligibility assessment, and risk evaluation, while assisting in the drafting and negotiation of Request for Proposal (RFP) responses, consortium and subcontractor agreements, and offset implementation contracts.

Our expertise extends to onboarding Indian Offset Partners (IOPs), structuring co-development and technology transfer arrangements, and navigating FDI regulations specific to the defence sector.
