## Summary

The Essex Police is planning a procurement process titled "Firing Range for Essex" in the industry category of Firearms and Training and simulation in firearms and ammunition. The procurement stage is in the planning phase with an engagement end date set for 20th February 2024. The total contract value is £400,000 GBP, and the procurement is for services related to the provision of firing range facilities.

This tender by Essex Police presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in firearms training and simulation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The procurement process is being conducted through the 7 Force Commercial Tendering Portal, with the tender specifically focused on providing a 50m firing range facility in Essex. Businesses operating in the firearms industry, particularly those offering training services, are encouraged to explore this tender opportunity for potential business growth.

## Notice

Essex Police currently own a small 25m firing range which we can use for practice and training. However, a significant amount of training and qualification shooting must take place on a 50m firing range. Essex Police are keen to understand what Firing Range facilities exist in the county, that could be made available. This opportunity is available via the 7 Force Commercial Tendering Portal.
