UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority, based in Culham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, recently concluded a direct award procurement process for "Weapons and Ammunition spares," which falls under the "Weapons, ammunition and associated parts" category. This procurement process, completed under the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis, was conducted as a single-supplier process, specifically due to intellectual property exclusive rights and technical reasons. The process reached the award stage, with LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERNATIONAL LIMITED, a London-based SME, selected as the supplier. The award was finalised on 19 June 2025, covering a contract period from 27 June 2025 to 26 June 2027, with a contract value totalling GBP 383,336.4.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers with expertise in weaponry and associated equipment. The direct award to LAW ENFORCEMENT INTERNATIONAL LIMITED underscores the potential for SMEs specialising in niche markets to secure substantial contracts through single-source procurement methods. Businesses that possess unique technical capabilities or proprietary rights to specific products are best positioned to benefit from such tender opportunities. These businesses can explore collaborations or develop exclusive partnerships to ensure their competitive edge in future opportunities within the central government sector.
