UK Companies Guide to NATO Funded Procurement
Summary
UK Defence and Security Exports and the Department for Business and Trade published guidance to help UK companies access NATO-funded business opportunities. The guide focuses on NATO Security and Investment Programme (NSIP) procedures. The January 2026 update removed references to the closed Find export opportunities service.
What changed
The guidance document on UK companies navigating NATO procurement has been updated to remove references to the closed Find export opportunities service. The guide continues to consolidate information on NATO procurement procedures, with particular focus on the NATO Security and Investment Programme (NSIP), which funds most NATO capital investment projects.
UK companies seeking NATO-funded contracts should use this guidance as an initial reference point, noting that no single organisation handles all NATO procurement and that programme details remain subject to change. Defence and security contractors should monitor for updates and directly contact UKDSE for specific procurement opportunities.
What to do next

Details
This guide pulls together some of the main aspects of NATO procurement procedures into one place, but focuses on the NATO Security and Investment Programme (NSIP).
There is no central organisation responsible for procurement. There are many sources of NATO funding for various types of projects, but most capital investment projects which NATO delivers are funded by NSIP.
This guide gives an indication of the current position,but the contents are subject to change.
