YOUR PROBLEM

GET IN BEFORE
THE TENDER DROPS

Engage early, before the requirement is written.

Defence contracts are shaped long before they’re released. By the time an RFT appears, the need is defined, the business case is built and Defence has already met the companies it thinks can deliver.

If the RFT is your first contact, you’re answering someone else’s question. From 1 July 2026, requirements and acquisition also sit in different parts of Defence, so the timing and the door both matter.

Systematiq positions you earlier, helps you win, and stands the contract up when you do.

YOUR PATHWAY

WHAT STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THE CONTRACT

Every pursuit follows the same path to the signature: find, shape, win, mobilise. Here’s what gets in the way at each stage, and how we move you through it.

YOU ARE HERE
See how we help you deliver

Your prototype or trial is moving towards a formal Defence contract, bringing greater compliance demands.
We translate an emerging solution into the plans, evidence and governance required for a formal Defence contract.

You have a strong tender opportunity, but your delivery team is not ready to mobilise from day one.
We plan mobilisation alongside the bid, so people, pricing, governance, data and delivery controls are ready from day one.

Your technology has sponsorship or funding, but no clear project owner, support model or pathway into service.
We establish ownership, support arrangements and a practical pathway from funded technology to sustained in-service capability.

HOW IT WORKS

FIND. SHAPE. WIN. MOBILISE.

A clear path from market entry to the first weeks of your contract. Each step builds on the last, and the same team carries the knowledge through.

Systematiq - Our Difference 4

WE’VE WORN
THE UNIFORM

Systematiq - Our Difference 1

ONE FIRM, BOTH SIDES
OF THE CONTRACT

Systematiq - Our Difference 3

CAPTURE, NOT JUST WRITING

We start with the program, not the template. Capture planning, customer insight and win themes come before the first word is written, so your response is built to win.

Systematiq - Our Difference 2

TESTIMONIALS

HEAR WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY?

I engaged the services of Systematiq to assist me with addressing our requirements for RAM engineering on the new rolling stock project. Systematiq was able to provide me with access to RAM practitioners at short notice that enabled ensured I met the project deadlines for the new rolling stock project reviews.

Through the engagement, I found the Systematiq staff to be helpful and integrated easily into our existing project team. Their responsiveness ensured I didn’t suffer any schedule delay due to the RAM requirements.

Richard Rao

GM Systems Integration (HCMT), Major Projects, Downer

I have been impressed by Systematiq’s ability to provide not only PMO and technical support, but with strategic advice and highly effective pre-contract services including marketing and procurement strategy, and tender management.  The ability to mobilise a team and guide us through the ASDEFCON tender requirements meant that we were able to submit an extremely compelling RFI and subsequent RFT to the Commonwealth. We look forward to a continued working relationship.

Jack Kormas

MD, Textron Systems Australia

Systematiq fielded an extremely professional, competent and skilled team who were across both the subject matter and Commonwealth requirements. Systematiq maintain subject matter expertise in project scheduling, costing, risk and hazard management, proposals and bid compilation and report presentation graphics. Their experience within multiple industry sectors enables them to quickly and efficiently identify appropriate design, fabrication, test and manufacturing entities where specialist sub-contracting capabilities are required. Systematiq are the real deal, significantly contributing towards the Australian Governments Sovereign Industry and Innovation efforts at SME level.

Systematiq were instrumental in the successful outcome of our CDIC grant application. Their market analysis and strategic advice, along with their assistance with the technical submission meant that we were assured of a compliant application that clearly outlined our pricing and delivery strategy as well as the benefits to the Commonwealth and industry.

Harry Hickling

Managing Director, Australian Performance Vehicles Pty Ltd

Systematiq supported my team with the development of some visualisations that were included in a tender submission. I was impressed at their ability to mobilise in a short time frame, respond to my request and ensure that the deliverable was matched to my requirements. The end result helped to make our submission professional and visually impressive to help with the capture of the contract.

Yes. We can run the whole bid or add capacity where you need it, from solution architecture support to writing, pricing and compliance. Your team stays focused on the solution.

An Australian Industry Capability (AIC) plan sets out how a tenderer will involve Australian industry in delivering a Defence contract. Many Defence procurements require one, and it’s evaluated as part of the tender.

Winning starts a clock. We help you stand up the plans, data and people Defence expects in the first weeks. Our Deliver & Sustain team can then support delivery, already knowing what you promised.
