About Department of Defence - DSRG procurement

Department of Defence – DSRG procures works and services that keep Defence bases operating and support emerging capability, serving ADF personnel and Defence sites nationwide. Public records show 58 tenders, the majority flagged as National, with additional activity in QLD, VIC, ACT, WA, SA and NSW. What sets DSRG apart is the breadth of its program and its proactive industry engagement: in the past year alone they’ve signalled pipelines and collaboration through items like Notice – Estate Works Program Defence Industry Update, JCG Space & Cyber Industry Forum 2026, LC4 IS and T Summit 2026, and CFI-260325 Industry Invitation to Collab X 2026. Alongside those touchpoints, they continue to let work across the Defence estate, often releasing multiple base-level projects concurrently, from Russell Precinct in the ACT to RAAF Amberley in QLD and HMAS Cerberus in VIC, as well as select Indo-Pacific locations such as PNG.

A clear theme is estate construction, refurbishment and maintenance. Recent examples include Simpson Barracks Building Refurbishment (VIC), RAAF Amberley Building Upgrades (QLD), South Bandiana Building Refurbishments (VIC), Russell Lift Refurbishments (ACT), Porton Barracks Roof Replacement (QLD), Fleet Base East Demolition Works (NSW), Garden Island Civil and Dosing Plant Works (NSW), Cultana Road and Escarpment Upgrades (SA), and Fleet Base West Carpark Works (WA). Utilities and fixed services feature too, such as Fire Alarm Monitoring Services – Defence Sites and Natural Gas for Defence Large Market Sites in NSW/ACT. Energy and sustainability appear in the RAAF Base Tindal Renewable Energy Microgrid Project notice. Beyond the estate, DSRG buys training and support services (RFT for Collective and Individual Training Support Services, ADF Transition Seminar Platform, Rotary Aircraft Hire and Flight Proficiency, and a national fitness facility access program). Innovation and research streams run through ASCA EDT P2ISR RFP, ASCA Pitch Day topics like Resilient Command and Control and Decoy/Deception, and robotics (UGV to support Robotic Autonomous System).

Successful engagement usually starts early. Monitor advance notices (for example, the microgrid Notice of Potential Upcoming and ASCA Advance Notices) and attend briefings and forums to shape a fit-for-purpose bid. Evaluation tends to emphasise demonstrated capability delivering on live Defence sites, robust WHS and quality systems, schedule control, and risk management; some projects may also require appropriate clearances and base access inductions. For smaller suppliers, two proven pathways are to target local works like Russell Lift Refurbishments (ACT) or Kokoda, Gallipoli and Jezzine Barracks refurbishments (QLD), and to subcontract to head contractors on larger packages at sites such as RAAF Williamtown, RAAF Amberley or HMAS Cerberus. National programs (e.g., fire alarm monitoring or utilities supply) favour suppliers who can evidence geographic coverage and service continuity.
