Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by the Civil Nuclear Police Authority pertains to the supply of non-lethal training ammunition and associated parts, under the title "Training simulation non-lethal ammunition". Situated in Culham, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the buying organisation is seeking to procure goods within the industry categories including firearms, ammunition, and training simulation in firearms. Currently at the planning stage, the process employs an open competition procurement method designed for below-threshold contracts. Key dates include the planned future notice to be released by 3rd June 2026, an enquiry period ending on 3rd June 2026, and a tender period closing on 10th June 2026. The contract, valued at up to £180,000 net, is anticipated to commence on 1st December 2026 and could extend until 1st December 2033, including renewal options.

This tender presents growth opportunities specifically for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in the manufacture or distribution of firearms and ammunition, as well as providing training equipment and simulations. The contract offers long-term engagement with potential renewal extensions, making it an attractive proposition for businesses looking to establish or expand their footprint within the public sector, particularly in delivering niche products required for training. Business participants who provide innovation in training materials and solutions, particularly in non-lethal weapons systems for law enforcement training, would find themselves well-suited to compete in this open competition.
