The biggest driver for the increase was the war in Ukraine but 2022 also saw increases by nations to support their national security programs. Here are some trends and events worth noting:</p><ul><li><strong>Europe</strong> saw its steepest year-on-year increase, 13 percent during the year</li><li>The <strong>United States, China and Russia</strong> — accounted for 56 percent of the world total</li><li><strong>China</strong> increased its military expenditure to an estimated $292 billion in 2022</li><li><strong>Japan’s</strong> military spending increased by 5.9 percent, reaching $46.0 billion. This increase supports the country’s plans to increase its military capability in response to perceived growing threats from China, North Korea and Russia</li><li><strong>India’s</strong> military spending of $81.4 billion in 2022 was a 6 percent increase from 2021 and was the fourth highest spend in the world</li><li>Military spending by <strong>Saudi Arabia</strong>, the fifth biggest military spender, rose by 16 per cent to reach an estimated $75.0 billion</li><li><strong>NATO members</strong> spent $1,232 billion in 2022, a 0.9 percent increase from 2021 levels</li><li>The <strong>United Kingdom</strong> had the highest military spending in Central and Western Europe at $68.5 billion, of which an estimated $2.5 billion (3.6 percent) was financial military aid to Ukraine.</li><li><strong>Ethiopia’s</strong> military spending increased 88 percent in 2022, to reach $1.0 billion. The renewed government offensive against the Tigray People’s Liberation Front in the north of the country is attributed to the increase</li></ul> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-6c20cc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image" data-id="6c20cc1" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="image.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="446" height="446" src="https://www.ccc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/military-expenditure.png" class="attachment-full size-full wp-image-35611" alt="" srcset="https://www.ccc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/military-expenditure.png 446w, https://www.ccc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/military-expenditure-300x300.png 300w, https://www.ccc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/military-expenditure-150x150.png 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px" /> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ca8fde0 media-caption elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="ca8fde0" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>SOURCE: The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-187a5f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle" data-id="187a5f6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="toggle.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-toggle"> <div class="elementor-toggle-item"> <div id="elementor-tab-title-2561" class="elementor-tab-title" data-tab="1" role="button" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-2561" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-closed"><svg class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right" viewBox="0 0 320 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z"></path></svg></span> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened"><svg class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z"></path></svg></span> </span> <a class="elementor-toggle-title" tabindex="0">Spotlight: United States </a> </div> <div id="elementor-tab-content-2561" class="elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix" data-tab="1" role="region" aria-labelledby="elementor-tab-title-2561"><h4><b>Current and projected budget</b></h4><p><a href="https://sipri.org/media/press-release/2021/world-military-spending-rises-almost-2-trillion-2020">U.S. military spending</a> grew $71 billion in 2022 to an estimated $887 billion USD in 2022.

It also calls for sustained collaboration and cooperation between the entire U.S. government, private industry, and Allies and partners abroad. The NDIS lays out the U.S. DoD’s big picture goals for the defence industrial base and includes four long-term strategic priorities:</p><ol><li><strong>Resilient supply chains</strong> to securely produce products, services, and technologies when needed, quickly and at the scale that is required;</li><li><strong>Workforce readiness</strong> to create a sufficiently skilled, and staffed workforce;</li><li><strong>Flexible acquisition</strong> including off-the-shelf acquisition to reduce development times and cost and increase scalability;</li><li><strong>Economic deterrence</strong> including building mechanisms and processes to grow the defence industrial ecosystem among the U.S. and close international allies and partners.</li></ol><p>While much work will need to be done across the U.S. DoD to implement and meet the objectives/metrics of the NDIS, this strategy is another opportunity for commands to leverage Canadian and other allied businesses that are part of a robust industrial base.</p><p><strong>Canada is deemed a “domestic source of supply” by U.S. DoD</strong><br />CCC is the U.S. Department of Defense designated contracting authority for acquisitions from Canada. It helps U.S. DoD access Canadian capabilities and works to strengthen awareness and understanding that Canada is deemed part of the U.S. defence industrial base by DoD. With the release of the NDIS, CCC will continue to explore and support initiatives that support the Canada-U.S. defence industrial base.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.ccc.ca/en/services/prime-contractor-us/">Get help from CCC to sell to U.S. military</a></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p></div> </div> <div class="elementor-toggle-item"> <div id="elementor-tab-title-2562" class="elementor-tab-title" data-tab="2" role="button" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-2562" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-closed"><svg class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right" viewBox="0 0 320 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z"></path></svg></span> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened"><svg class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z"></path></svg></span> </span> <a class="elementor-toggle-title" tabindex="0">Spotlight: United Kingdom</a> </div> <div id="elementor-tab-content-2562" class="elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix" data-tab="2" role="region" aria-labelledby="elementor-tab-title-2562"><h4><b>Current and projected budget</b></h4><p>The United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (MoD) is one of the biggest public procurement organisations in Europe, which in 2021/2022 spent £45.9 billion ($58 billion USD) on the military.

Details of all NATO business opportunities notified to the Canadian delegation are posted on the <a href="https://buyandsell.gc.ca/">PWGSC website</a>.</p><p>For procurements under €160,000, the Agency will normally follow the Simplified Procurement procedures where qualified sources that are known to meet the requirements are solicited.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Are you ready to enter this market?</strong></p><p><strong>Register your interest to bid: </strong>When a Canadian company sees a Notification of Intent to Invite Bids (NOI) of interest, they should contact the Canadian delegation at NATO and request that a Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) be forwarded to the host nation. This will allow the Canadian company to be added to the bidders list for the project and to receive the formal Invitation for Bids (IFB) package.</p><p>Companies cannot submit the DOE themselves. The only exception is for Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) procurements, where the original declaration issued for the BOA is valid for all subsequent bids made using that BOA agreement.</p><p><strong>Monitor when invitations for bids are released: </strong>Once an invitation is released, the time allowed for submission of bids is not less than 84 days for large-scale or complicated projects or 42 days for others.</p><p><strong>Ensure clear bid pricing:</strong> Bidding companies need to price to meet the Minimum Military Requirement (MMR) and no more. Providing an alternative solution, but not explaining how it meets the MMR, will result in non-compliance, and your bid will be rejected on legitimate grounds. You need to make your cost breakdown clear. If providing alternative solution options, make your base price clear, with additional costs per option.</p><p><strong>Submit bid on time: </strong>Bid deadlines are fixed, but in certain circumstances a delegation can request an extension on specific grounds. Host nations only give one extension at a time and will not accept late submission of documents if an extension has not been formally notified by a delegation and confirmed to all parties.</p><p><strong>Evaluation methods:</strong> Lowest-Price, Technically-Compliant (LPTC), also known as “Lowest Compliant” is nearly always used for Simplified Procurements, BOA competitions and ICBs with known, firm requirements.</p><p><strong>For ICBs and larger BOA competitions: </strong>the evaluation includes an administrative, price and technical evaluation. The Pass-Fail evaluation is used for administrative requirements. For the pricing evaluation, the review ensures that the price volume is complete, and the prices bid are reasonable. The bid evaluated as the lowest price undergoes the technical evaluation.</p><p><strong>For the technical evaluation:</strong> there is no technical scoring or consideration given to “extra features”. If the lowest price bid is compliant with all the technical requirements, that company is selected for the project, and the other technical bids are not evaluated. If it is determined to be non-compliant, the second lowest price bid is then evaluated.</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.ncia.nato.int/business/do-business-with-us/procurement-methods.html">Guide to navigating NATO procurement</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tradecommissioner.gc.ca/canadexport/158262.aspx?lang=eng">How to bid on NATO contracts – and win</a></li><li><a href="https://www.ccc.ca/en/contact-us/">Talk to CCC about an opportunity with NATO</a></li></ul><div> </div></div> </div> <div class="elementor-toggle-item"> <div id="elementor-tab-title-2565" class="elementor-tab-title" data-tab="5" role="button" aria-controls="elementor-tab-content-2565" aria-expanded="false"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-closed"><svg class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-right" viewBox="0 0 320 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M285.476 272.971L91.132 467.314c-9.373 9.373-24.569 9.373-33.941 0l-22.667-22.667c-9.357-9.357-9.375-24.522-.04-33.901L188.505 256 34.484 101.255c-9.335-9.379-9.317-24.544.04-33.901l22.667-22.667c9.373-9.373 24.569-9.373 33.941 0L285.475 239.03c9.373 9.372 9.373 24.568.001 33.941z"></path></svg></span> <span class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened"><svg class="elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z"></path></svg></span> </span> <a class="elementor-toggle-title" tabindex="0">Spotlight: Middle East</a> </div> <div id="elementor-tab-content-2565" class="elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix" data-tab="5" role="region" aria-labelledby="elementor-tab-title-2565"><h4><b>Current and projected budget</b></h4><p>According to SIPRI, total military expenditure by countries in the Middle East was an estimated $184 billion in 2022.

Government tenders are posted on the country’s procurement portal, <a href="http://www.etimad.sa">Etimad</a>, which serves as a centralized repository for all government tenders.

But one of the challenges that foreign defence firms face is the legal prohibition on paying commission fees to agents for the sale of military equipment to Saudi Arabian government agencies. Companies can engage a local agent and comply with the law by offering such agents payment of success fees comprised of fixed one-time payments each time a contract is awarded, or by hiring the agent as an employee and remunerating the agent through an adjusted salary scale. Another option is establishing a joint venture company with a Saudi partner where a local partner focuses on business development and winning government contracts. </p><p>The Ministry of Investment announced that by 2024, all international companies would be limited in doing business with the government unless their regional headquarters are in Saudi Arabia.
