A: When bidding directly into Defence, you may not need a clearance in place at the time – but might need to demonstrate your ability to secure the required level of membership within the Defence Industry Security Program (DISP) and security cleared personnel. Defence primes often have DISP membership as a pre-qualification requirement to provide services to them. BidWrite can advise you on the security requirements for your tender, and if additional help is required, we’ll refer you to our specialist Defence security partners De Stefano & Co.
