Summary of the contracting process

The Supplier Day event will take place at MPSTC, Gravesend, Kent, on the 9th October 2023.

Suppliers attending the event should have self-loading pistols meeting specific criteria, including compatibility with Miniature Red Dot Sights and operational police ammunition. The event agenda includes open forum sessions for demonstrations and discussions, offering a platform for industry representatives to showcase their products directly to a Met Police delegation. This tender process marks a strategic initiative by the Met to enhance its firearms capabilities through collaboration with industry suppliers.
