## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, Weapons, Defence General Munitions (DGM) Project Team has completed a framework agreement for the repeat procurement of small arms ammunition, primers, and grenades, valued at £30 million. This procurement falls under the category of weapons, ammunition, and associated parts, and is situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The contract period commenced on 1st July 2019 and will run until 31st March 2024. The procurement method was not specified, and the end date for the tender period was 1st July 2019.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the defence and munitions industry, particularly those able to supply weapons and ammunition. Large-scale suppliers, like RUAG Ammotec AG, are expected to be the main competitors; however, smaller players with the capacity to meet stringent supply requirements may also explore niche offerings in this sector. The ongoing nature of the contract over several years may allow for multiple supply arrangements, fostering growth and partnership possibilities for interested businesses.
