Summary of the contracting process

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority is initiating a procurement process for "Carbine Magazines", which falls under the industry category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an open competition method for goods below the threshold value. The tender process invites submissions electronically and has key deadlines, including an enquiry period ending on 27th May 2026 and a tender submission period concluding on 10th June 2026. The procurement is set within the United Kingdom, specifically the region of Oxfordshire, with a planned contract period from 11th July 2026 to 10th July 2031, and a potential extension up to 2033.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers of carbine magazines, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that can fulfil the requirements effectively. Engaging in this procurement could enhance market presence in the defence and security sector, providing businesses with a five-year contract with possible extensions. Companies specialising in the manufacture or supply of firearms components are well-suited to compete, given the nature of the goods involved. Participating businesses will benefit from establishing long-term relationships with central government authorities and gaining access to future procurement opportunities within the Civil Nuclear Police Authority's operations.
