Summary of the contracting process

The British Transport Police, based in London, finalised the procurement process for "The Provision of Carbine Sight System," classified under the industry category "Parts of firearms and ammunition" (CPV: 35340000). This contract, valued at £169,568, was conducted using an open procedure above threshold and has progressed to the award stage, with SIG SAUER Inc. as the supplier. The tender covered regions across England, Scotland, and Wales, with significant dates including the contract period from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2030. The award was officially announced on 17th June 2025, following the conclusion of the tender period on 19th March 2025.

This tender opens avenues for businesses in the defence and firearms accessory industries to leverage the opportunity for future procurement processes with public safety organisations like the British Transport Police. Although the present contract favoured a large-scale supplier, innovative SMEs specialising in firearms components could benefit from such opportunities by highlighting competitive capabilities and establishing a foothold in similar government contracts. As this procurement operates within a clear and structured open procedure, businesses that demonstrate reliability, local adaptability, and advanced technical capabilities stand a considerable chance to secure future contracts.
