EU defence policy & procurement integrity

EU defence policy and procurement integrity advisory

Defence and dual-use organisations need to understand the policy context behind commercial decisions as well as the integrity expectations surrounding procurement. MK Global Advisory & Investigations provides EU defence policy analysis, regulatory intelligence and strategic guidance from London. We help companies interpret institutional developments, evaluate relevant information and examine the governance of prospective partnerships.

Why work with us

Melpomeni Kalliri worked within the EU institutions on foreign affairs and security and defence policy, with a particular focus on EU–Canada relations. She also brings forensic accounting qualifications and experience in banking and energy economics. This background informs policy analysis and integrity reviews without implying a current institutional appointment or privileged access to decision-makers.

EU defence policy

  • Translate policy developments and institutional priorities into focused briefings relevant to your sector, capabilities and planning horizon.

Procurement context

  • Review publicly available buyer requirements, programme information and procurement arrangements to identify questions relevant to your organisation.
  • Assess partnership and consortium considerations from a policy and integrity perspective, alongside your commercial and legal advisers.

Procurement integrity

  • Examine conflicts of interest, agent relationships, approval arrangements and anti-bribery controls surrounding procurement activity.
  • Identify governance weaknesses and due diligence needs involving suppliers or prospective partners, with documented recommendations for management.

Briefings & readiness

  • Prepare sector-specific policy analysis, stakeholder mapping or integrity reviews with clear sources and a defined scope.
  • Include leadership briefings or staff training on procurement conduct, third-party risks and the practical application of internal policies.
