AUKUS Pillar 1 - Industry Opportunities for Involvement

Australia, United Kingdom and United States have joined together through the AUKUS partnership with the first major initiative labelled Pillar 1, the delivery of a conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarine (NPS) capability for Australia. Through this initiative, Australia's NPS program is creating and delivering significant generational opportunities for Australian businesses and our national security. We need people and businesses to support the design, workforce, build and sustainment of this critical capability.

Stay connected with the Australian Submarine Agency (ASA) by registering your interest to participate in the Program. To identify the types of products and services your organisation provides you are encouraged to fill out the 'Supplier Capability Questionnaire' Expressions of Interest (EOI) in the Work Packages section. This will optimise opportunities to engage with industry to ensure we build a resilient and sustainable NPS industrial base.

How to Register Interest in the NPS Program

• You are encouraged to fill out the 'Supplier Capability Questionnaire' EOI listed on the 'Work Packages' tab above. Refer to the 'EOI User Guide' in the Project Documents below for instructions and assistance on how to submit an EOI. By filling out the questionnaire your organisation will stay connected with the ASA.
• To submit an initial EOI for the work packages, companies must have an active ICN Gateway company profile. Information on how to create your company profile is also detailed below.
