Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority, a central government public authority based in Culham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, has completed a procurement process for the supply of Rheinmetall 6 bang distraction devices. This direct award contract, stemming from a tender initiated on 23rd October 2025, was deemed necessary due to the sole supplier status of IAN EDGAR (LIVERPOOL) LIMITED. The procurement pertains to the goods industry category, specifically ammunition, with delivery set to take place across the United Kingdom. The contract period extends from 3rd November 2025 to 2nd November 2027.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses in the defence and security sector, particularly those capable of supplying specialised goods such as ammunition. The suitability focus on SMEs implies conducive conditions for smaller enterprises to engage in such high-security contracts, potentially opening doors for similar future procurements. This specific contract, worth £44,268 gross, underscores the demand for niche products within central government frameworks, benefiting suppliers with unique products or services that meet technical or sole supplier criteria.
