Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority, based in Culham, Oxfordshire, has completed a direct award procurement for the supply of Glock 17 SLP Generation 3, 4, and 5 pistols. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically 'Weapons, ammunition and associated parts,' and involves a contract with the supplier Viking Arms Limited, located in Harrogate. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' stage, with the contract period commencing on 29th November 2025 and concluding on 9th June 2027. The award notice was published on 12th November 2025, with a standstill period ending on 21st November 2025. The procurement method used was a direct award due to Viking Arms Limited's unique position as the sole UK importer and provider of Glock armourers courses and support.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in the supply, maintenance, and training associated with firearms and related equipment. Companies with expertise in defence and security sectors, particularly those focused on serving government and law enforcement agencies, are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement processes. SMEs with capabilities to support the supply chain of advanced weapon systems or those that can offer additional services such as training could also find growth opportunities in similar future contracts.
