Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Ministry of Defence, awarding the Viking Combined Support Contract focused on the industry category of firearms, specifically hand guns. The contract, valued at £829,466.66, includes technical support and additional procurement for Glock weapons to meet operational capabilities for the UK Armed Forces. The award was finalised on 3rd November 2021, with the contract period extending until 2nd November 2026. This was a limited procurement method using a negotiated procedure without prior publication, specifically conducted for the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in firearms maintenance and support services, particularly SMEs capable of providing technical assistance and repair. Companies that focus on defence contracting, weapon systems support, and related logistics would be well-positioned to compete in future tenders, especially given the emphasis on extending in-service capabilities for military equipment. The potential for future procurement as additional needs arise could further benefit suppliers in this sector.
