Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority, based in Culham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, has completed the procurement process for the supply of AEP 37mm ammunition. This direct award contract has been allocated to the Home Office, identified as the sole supplier, given its exclusive rights on the necessary intellectual property. The procurement, categorised under the 'goods' industry, comprises police equipment and weapons, with a focus on ensuring timely supply to meet law enforcement needs. The contract, worth £293,311.29 gross, is set to run from 9th June 2025 to 8th June 2027, with a scheduled signature on the start date.

This contract opens up avenues for businesses specialising in the production and supply of police equipment and ammunition to explore opportunities for future dealings within similar government sectors. Companies with capabilities in large-scale production, able to meet high standards required by law enforcement agencies, would find themselves at an advantage. In future procurements, businesses that can ensure innovation and compliance with technical specifications might be well-positioned to partner with public authorities, especially in regions prioritising security and safety enhancements.
