Procurement


DSTA provides procurement and related services to achieve best value for money for the Ministry of Defence and the Singapore Armed Forces, as well as the public sector. We do this through a fair and transparent procurement process, maintaining probity and public trust in procurement.

Fundamentally, DSTA performs sourcing, tendering, evaluation, contracting and post contract management activities. Our role has since been enlarged to provide more value add to the whole supply chain. We have evolved from performing compliance-focused transactions to higher value knowledge-based procurement.

In line with this, we are moving away from ad hoc purchasing to more proactive, informed and planned analysis of customer requirements. At the same time, we are more actively engaging the industries to better understand the market supply situation.

We adopt best market practices and go for innovative procurement strategies. For example, we have implemented Demand Aggregation and Reverse Auction (DARA) initiatives, Public Private Partnerships (or PPP) contracting, Performance Based contracting and more comprehensive Period Contracts.
