Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence has initiated a limited tender process for the "FNH UK Ltd Combined Support Contract," which falls under the industry category of repair and maintenance services of weapons. The contract involves support, supply, and repair services for the UK Armed Forces' fleet of machine guns, covering a 5-year period and with a total contract value of £7,500,000. The procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having signed the contract on 25th July 2022, and the service will be delivered to various locations across the UK.

Companies that provide technical support for weaponry, particularly those with expertise in machine guns, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. The contract's focus on specific equipment, including Heavy and Light Machine Guns, suggests that suppliers capable of meeting the stringent requirements of the UK Armed Forces are particularly welcome. Opportunities for additional in-service weapon procurement may also arise during the contract period, allowing for further business development within this sector.
