Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority has completed a direct award contracting process titled "Royal Navy SSGO Courses" under the unique reference ID 017872-2025. This procurement, which falls within the industry categories of security equipment, training, and simulation, is aimed at ensuring compliance in command functions for close-range weapons. Operating from F6 Culham Campus in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the contracting authority awarded the service to DBS Finance, based in Liverpool, to provide these essential training services. The contract spans from 30th April 2025 to 29th April 2026, with the procurement process classified under defence and security through a single-supplier justification as stipulated in the procurement regulations Schedule 5 No:5 (a+b).

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities particularly for businesses specialising in security and defence training services. Firms that produce simulation and training equipment can benefit from such contracts, particularly if they demonstrate expertise in the highly specialised area of defence and security training. Large-scale organisations similar to DBS Finance, equipped to handle contracts resulting from direct awards, may find ventures into this sector particularly fruitful. Additionally, businesses positioned to offer unique solutions through specialised security training and compliance systems are well-suited to compete in contracts of this nature, especially within the context of the UK's stringent defence requirements.
