## Summary

The Essex Police, through the 7 Force Commercial Services, has planned a tender for the construction of a firing range in Essex. The project aims to provide a 50m range for training and qualification shooting for firearms officers. The tender is under the goods category with a value of £400,000.00. The future notice date for this opportunity is set for January 15, 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for construction companies specialising in infrastructure projects or firearm training equipment suppliers to participate in the procurement process. Being at the planning stage, interested businesses can explore partnering with Essex Police to deliver the required facilities. The project location is in the UK, and businesses in the firearms, construction, and training industries may find this tender particularly relevant for 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. As Essex do not own a facility of this size, we currently have to utilise ranges owned by other Police Forces and the Military in order to ensure our firearms officers are adequately trained and qualified. 
Essex Police would like to understand what facilities exist in the county that could be made available.
