The procurement, identified with the tag "award" and marked as "complete," was executed under a competitive flexible procedure, specifically catering to the defence and security industry category. This procurement aimed for the supply of nine grenade variants, with relevant organisations such as GTDS Europe B.V. winning the active contract for a gross amount of GBP 82.3 million. The contract is set to commence on 24th June 2026 and conclude by 23rd June 2031 with an option to purchase additional quantities of munitions. Delivery is expected across multiple locations including Singapore, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in munitions, particularly those capable of meeting stringent defence and security specifications. Large-scale suppliers, like GTDS Europe B.V., stand to benefit given the scale, security special regime, and value of the contract, which encourages the growth and expansion of firms within the arms and ammunition sector. Companies able to offer competitive quality and price standards, as well as those with proficiency in selective procurement methods, are well-suited to engage and compete in similar procurement opportunities that involve substantial contracts and the possibility of extensions and additional purchase options. ## Notice Competition for the Supply of 9 variants of 40mm High and Low Velocity Grenades ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: There will be options within the contract to purchase additional quantities of munitions above and beyond the original firm orders of munitions that will be included within the contract at Contract award.
