The Ministry of Defence is seeking to fulfil its requirement for the 'Supply of Long Wave InfraRed (LWIR) thermal Sight 'Weapon Sight 2' - Sniper In-Line Low Light System'. This procurement process falls under the goods category, specifically classified under telescopic sights (CPV code 38633000). The tender was completed with an awarded value of £2,875,000, signalling the successful conclusion of this procurement. The contract period spans from 10th August 2021 to 9th August 2026, with the tender award published on 31st August 2021. The procurement method used was selective, and the process adhered to a restricted procedure due to the value being above the threshold.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in relevant industries could find this a suitable venture, as the Ministry of Defence's procurement approach encourages participation from these entities. Companies that can demonstrate innovation in thermal imaging solutions or exhibit relevant experience in supplying high-performance optical systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.
