Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, now marked as complete, was conducted by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London for the project titled "City of London Police Carbine Weapon System and Warranty Services". This procurement falls under the industry category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts (CPV: 35300000). The acquisition was aimed at replacing the existing fleet of H&K G36 carbines with a more advanced carbine system suited to the urban terrains of London. The procedure utilised was an open procurement method. Key details include a contract value of £222,358 + VAT, with a 10-year duration. The tendering and subsequent awarding concluded with the contract being signed on 2nd May 2025, with NSAF Ltd T/A Heckler & Koch GB appointed as the supplier. The initiative addresses the needs of the Tactical Firearms Group for the City of London Police, comprising both operational and training components. The procurement was previously at the tender stage, with participants required to register via the capitalEsourcing platform.

For businesses involved in the manufacturing or servicing of arms and related systems, this tender represents a substantial opportunity for growth. The focus on providing a sophisticated carbine system and warranty services opens up a critical market avenue, particularly for companies with expertise in tactical and urban response weaponry. Given the complexity of the products and services solicited, companies proficient in handling specialised procurement procedures, especially those familiar with electronic submission systems such as capitalEsourcing, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses offering integrated solutions that combine high technical quality, cost efficiency, and responsible procurement practices are likely to find significant opportunities in such government-led projects.
