G2G
Government-to-government
A bilateral agreement between governments sets the legal and diplomatic basis. DefenceExporter supports delivery as a technical partner under that agreement.
Government Partnerships
Built for sovereign partnerships.
Defence workforce programmes touch the most sensitive responsibilities of the state. Every DefenceExporter partnership concept is therefore designed as a journey with explicit decision gates — where governments decide, and where a programme can stop.
Discuss a Government Programme01 — The programme journey
Eight stages. Eight decision gates.
Each stage produces a defined deliverable. No stage begins until the government has passed the gate before it.
- 01
Government requirement
The government defines the workforce need, its priorities and constraints.
DeliverableStatement of requirement
GateGovernment confirms the need
- 02
Legal & policy assessment
Defence, immigration, labour, human-rights and data-protection law reviewed in every jurisdiction.

Workforce architecture
Streams, scale, phasing and the balance of active, reserve and specialist roles.

02 — Partnership structures
Three ways a partnership could be structured.
B2G
Business-to-government
A government engages DefenceExporter for defined services — programme design, technology or training management — through its procurement processes.
Multi-party
Tripartite or multi-party
Two or more governments, with delivery partners, agree a shared framework. The 1947 Tripartite Agreement between the United Kingdom, India and Nepal on Gurkha service is a long-standing example of this kind of structure.
03 — Commercial structure
A B2G and G2G service model.
The potential commercial structure is organised around eight service lines. No fixed prices have been established; each engagement would be scoped with the government concerned.
| Service line | Engagement type | Indicative basis |
|---|---|---|
| Government programme design | Advisory & design | Fixed-scope or phased engagement |
| Recruitment infrastructure | Service delivery | Scoped per programme |
| Training management | Coordination | Scoped per programme |
| Technology licensing | Licence | Licence and support agreement |
| Workforce management | Managed service | Scoped per programme |
| Screening / verification services | Service delivery | Scoped per programme |
| Consultancy | Advisory | Scoped engagement |
| Training centre management | Managed service | Scoped per facility |
Candidates are never charged recruitment fees. Programme costs are borne by the contracting government or governments under transparent, auditable arrangements.
04 — Principles
What every partnership would guarantee.
Sovereignty
Governments retain every decision of authority — selection, appointment, command and activation.
Transparency
Scope, responsibilities and funding defined in writing and open to oversight bodies.
Accountability
Clear lines of responsibility, independent audit and accessible grievance channels.
Exit
Agreed arrangements for ending a programme safely, including for the individuals involved.
