Guide for Foreign Suppliers

Legal Requirements
Any foreign supplier of defence systems and equipment or services to the Danish Armed Forces is required to enter into an Industrial Co-operation Contract (ICC) with the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority (DECA).

Through an ICC a foreign supplier undertakes to purchase products and/or services from Danish companies for an amount corresponding to the Danish procurement of defence equipment. These contracts may involve trade in 1) defence-related products, technologies, or services, 2) products, technologies and services securing infrastructure and other public security tasks naturally related to defence materiel technologies, and 3) products, technologies, or services for use in civil aerospace and space naturally related to defence materiel technology.

ICC is a Precondition
A foreign supplier has to sign an ICC with the DECA 30 days prior of entering into a contract with the Danish Armed Forces. You can find more information on how IC works in a Danish context on the following web pages and in the current Regulation on Industrial Co-operation in Denmark.
