UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Metropolitan Police Service, operating as a sub-central government public authority, has completed the tender process for acquiring concealed Glock 17/19 replacement holsters. The procurement focused on the supply of 630 discreet level 2 retention holsters for right- and left-handed armed officers, with additional units to be topped up annually over the contract's duration. The contract, categorised in the industry of holsters, is confined to the region of the United Kingdom and employs a limited competition procurement method below the threshold. This phase has moved beyond the award stage, with the contract expected to commence on 3rd October 2025 and conclude by 11th September 2028.

This tender provides a lucrative growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in manufacturing or supplying law enforcement equipment, specifically holsters. The contract was awarded to ASPEN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED and THOMAS JACKS LIMITED, both SMEs, indicating that businesses in this niche sector can compete effectively, provided they meet the required discreet and retention specifications. Engaging in such contracts can lead to steady, long-term business through the annual supply of additional units, promoting stability and business expansion within public procurement frameworks.
