خسائر التكاليف في العقود الدفاعية التقليدية
Definition
Traditional transactional defense contracts place financial risk entirely on the customer (UAE Armed Forces). Suppliers respond by offering lower service levels to protect thin margins. This creates cascading costs: maintenance delays, availability shortfalls, unplanned rework, and operational disruption. Advanced contracting models transfer risk to suppliers and incentivize performance—delivering documented 15-20% cost reductions and 20%+ reliability improvements.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 15-20% of annual contract value (e.g., AED 150-200M annually for AED 1B defense procurement portfolio)
- Frequency: Ongoing across all transactional defense contracts under Tawazun management
- Root Cause: Regulatory framework (Tawazun Council) defaults to traditional contracting; lack of incentive alignment between supplier performance and customer outcomes
