Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service is currently conducting a procurement process for ‘Firearms Training Equipment’, specifically a non-firearm Glock 17 replica, to meet the needs of the Specialist Firearms Command. The tender is classified under the CPV codes for firearms and training supplies, with a total contract value of £15,000 and a minimum value of £6,000. The tender submission period closes on 24th December 2018, while the contract is expected to commence from 3rd January 2019 to 4th January 2019. Delivery addresses include various locations within the United Kingdom and its territories.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in manufacturing training weapons and simulation equipment, especially those capable of producing high-quality replicas that meet specific tactical and training requirements. Companies best positioned to compete include manufacturers of training aids and tactical equipment suppliers, particularly those with capabilities in producing inert firearms and integrated training systems. Given the demand for specialised training apparatus, successful bidders could establish a long-term relationship with the Metropolitan Police Service, leading to further contracts in the security and law enforcement sector.

Notice Title

Firearms Training Equipment.

Notice Description

We need a completely inert (non-firearm) Glock 17 replica. They should: * Be of solid construction, with a metal slide, and should closely match a Glock 17 in weight and exactly in dimensions in order that we can use it in existing holsters. * Have a realistically weighted, removable magazine for practising reload drills. * Have a resetting trigger that can be adjusted to replicate the weight and travel of the two triggers we currently have on our operational weapons. * Have a reasonable facsimile * Have a LASER that shows aiming/shot accuracy and, ideally, diagnosis of faults. * Be completely of a non-realistic, standard training-pistol colour (i.e. a frame and slide that are red or blue. As we use blue SIMs pistols, red would be preferable.) This opportunity is for the Specialist Firearms Command within the Met.
