## Summary

The procurement process for the supply of Sharpshooter Rifle spares was initiated by Babcock International Group PLC, based in Telford, England. This direct procurement method, through a single tender action, was valued at £4.5 million and falls under the goods category with a classification of rifles (CPV Code: 35321200). The tender period ended on June 1, 2021, and the contract commenced on August 6, 2021, with a duration extending until August 5, 2026.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses to grow, particularly those involved in the defence and military equipment industry. Companies that specialise in providing firearms, ammunition, and related spare parts, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to compete for similar future tenders. The contracting authority’s approach using a single tender action may indicate a preference for established suppliers, but potential entrants can leverage innovative solutions and partnership opportunities within the sector.
