“…As previously stated, PP is subjected to rigorous oversight through the implementation of procurement laws and regulations. When these legal structures are diligently upheld, the potential for extensive collaboration and protracted contractual arrangements becomes constrained (Calcara, 2020;Holma et al, 2022). Even when purchases have been classified into categories such as strategic, routine and bottleneck products (as exemplified by Kraljic, 1983), the procurement actions within each category remain subject to the regulatory framework governing PP.…”

“…Defence procurement, which is the process by which states acquire the goods and services needed by their Armed Forces, constitutes a significant sub-field within Defence Studies (Sigma, 2011; Uttley, 2018; Calcara, 2020). According to Markowski and Hall (1998), there has been a renewed interest in the economics of defence procurement.…”

“…The EU Directive 2014/24, 2014 on PP stipulates that national authorities must adhere to the principles of PP, ensuring equal treatment of all applicants and the absence of discrimination (European Commission, 2020). Additionally, the EU directive mandates that interactions and long-term contracts should not distort competition and should follow the principles of non-discrimination and transparency (Calcara, 2020; Holma et al. , 2022).…”

PurposeA deteriorating security situation and an increased need for defence equipment calls for new forms of collaboration between Armed Forces and the defence industry. This paper aims to investigate the ways in which the accelerating demand for increased security of supply of equipment and supplies to the Armed Forces requires adaptability in the procurement process that is governed by laws on public procurement (PP).Design/methodology/approachThis paper is based on a review of current literature as well as empirical data obtained through interviews with representatives from the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration and the Swedish defence industry.FindingsCollaboration with the globalized defence industry requires new approaches, where the PP rules make procurement of a safe supply of defence equipment difficult.Research limitations/implicationsThe study's empirical data and findings are based on the Swedish context. In order to draw more general conclusions in a defence context, the study should be expanded to cover more nations.Practical implicationsThe findings will enable the defence industry and the procurement authorizations to better understand the requirements of Armed Forces, and how to cooperate under applicable legal and regulatory requirements.Originality/valueThe paper extends the extant body of academic knowledge of the security of supply into the defence sector. It serves as a first step towards articulating a call for new approaches to collaboration in defence supply chains.

“…In the case of large-scale weapons platforms, additional requirements for integration with multinational allied forces, and the self-interest of multiple actors from regional suppliers to armed service bureaucracies, complicate the already complex electoral and partisan considerations impacting government efforts and expenditures in this area such as national sovereignty issues or questions about the size and location of industrial or regional "offsets" (King and Sekerka 2017). Furthermore, given the long-term nature of these decisions, the development of weapons systems will also reflect shifting electoral calculations that affect government spending priorities as well as changes in the strategic considerations that influence military priority-setting (Calcara 2020).…”

Large-scale military platform procurement is an essential but understudied component in policy and administrative studies. Procurement decisions in this area, which include major platforms and systems such as ships and aircraft, are very expensive and feature complex multi-actor and multi-year processes which can be highly conflictual. The extant administrative literature on the subject is of limited help: on the one hand, most procurement studies in public administration and public management focus on smaller, short-term, more routinized and less conflictual purchases. On the other hand, studies centred on military acquisitions tend to treat each major purchase as idiosyncratic. Hence, military procurement provides an excellent source of case studies to expand our knowledge and understanding of larger and more complex types of procurement processes. It allows us to draw lessons about successes and failures that will be relevant to similar expensive and large-scale purchases, such as railways, hydroelectric dams, highways and port development, while also drawing out the similarities and lessons for future defence purchases.
