Procurement Library.

Six templates for procurement, inspection, and handover.

Practical Templates and Audit Guides

For procurement departments, program managers, and subject matter experts in the aerospace, defense, automotive, and critical infrastructure sectors. Free to use without registration.
Procurement procedures for security-critical software follow a different logic than traditional IT tenders. They require more substantial reviews, longer contract terms, greater confidentiality, and a clear approach to standards, security classification, and export controls. The following six templates were developed based on our daily work with government clients and system manufacturers. You can use the documents as is, adapt them to your processes, or use them as a starting point for your own templates.
