Procurement Information
The Defence General Munitions (DGM) Delivery Team, part of the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD), has a requirement for ammunition delivery in April 2027 and intends to award a two-year contract extension to Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmBH for the repeat procurement of the MODs portfolio of Small Arms, Grenades & PELE. The estimated total value of the proposed award is PS41m ex-VAT (PS51m inc VAT).Direct award is justified In accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 Paragraph 6 of Schedule 5 for Technical Reasons.This is on the basis that Rheinmetall are the Original Equipment Manufacturers of the in-service natures which makes up the current stockpile and have satisfied MoD Standards for Safety and Suitability for Service. Rheinmetall alone have the technical knowledge and documentary evidence which is necessary for upholding the quality and safety standards required by the MoD to meet and therefore fulfil this requirement in the timescales required.
