## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the City of London Corporation involves the acquisition of a Carbine Weapon System and Warranty Services for the City of London Police. This open procedure, classified under the industry category of Weapons, Ammunition and Associated Parts, is aimed at modernising the police force's arsenal to better suit urban operations within London. The contracting process, which commenced with the tender announcement on 22nd November 2024, has moved to the award stage as of 2nd May 2025, with NSAF Ltd T/A Heckler & Koch GB being recommended for contract award. The contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2035, reflecting a long-term commitment valued at £222,358. Key locations for delivery include various regions, such as the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, and the British Overseas Territories.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in weapon systems, particularly those with expertise in high-quality carbine firearms suitable for densely populated urban environments. While the procurement process is already at the award stage, businesses involved in ancillary services or complementary products may still find opportunities during the contract's implementation phase. Larger enterprises familiar with intricate bidding processes under public sector guidelines would have been well-suited for this tender, given the comprehensive technical and commercial evaluations involved. Although the supplier arrangement does not explicitly prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, businesses within these categories can align future strategies to meet the operational demands of similar large-scale public contracts.

## Notice

The procurement process followed an Open Procedure, ensuring full transparency and compliance with public sector procurement regulations. Multiple submissions were received and evaluated against rigorous technical and commercial criteria, with the HK416 emerging as the preferred weapon system. The selection process included: - Pre-qualification assessments to ensure compliance with essential operational and legal requirements. - Technical evaluations, including live-firing exercises, ergonomic assessments, and tactical applications. - Commercial assessments, ensuring value for money and long-term cost efficiency. Based on these evaluations, this report recommends awarding the contract to NSAF Ltd T/A Heckler & Koch GB. The decision aligns with the City of London Police's operational requirements and ensures the timely replacement of outdated weapon systems within the allocated budget. Approval of this report will authorise the formal awarding of the contract and enable the procurement process to proceed within the required timeline, pending the Commissioner's final endorsement of the selected weapon system.
