For defence & infrastructure

The risk is written in long before the price is.


Major programmes turn on indemnity, security clearance and delivery clauses spread across thousands of pages and multiple volumes. By the time the commercial team reaches them, the bid is already committed and the exposure is already yours.

What makes major programmes unforgiving

The clause you find in month two should have decided the bid in week one.

Clause density

Indemnity, liability and security terms buried across thousands of pages and several volumes, cross-referenced and easy to lose.

Clearance & compliance

Security clearances, local-content thresholds and certification gates that a bid cannot proceed without.

Consortium exposure

Flow-down terms you inherit through prime and subcontractor arrangements, often on someone else’s paper.

The three axes, tuned for major programmes

Deliverable at acceptable risk, or not.

selrob reads the conditions, the security requirements and the delivery schedules together, then tests them against your firm and your consortium.

Strategy

Does this programme fit your accredited capabilities and security posture?

Capacity

Clearances, certifications and delivery partners against the mandated scope and timeline.

Review

One programme, in full

A risk position your board can sign off before the bid does.

Not just a score. selrob names the uncapped liability, the clearance gap and the local-content threshold, and traces each to its volume and clause. The exposure is a decision, made early, not a discovery made late.
