## Summary

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) / Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) had initially announced a tender for the provision of carbine slings, categorised under police equipment and parts of firearms, with a total value of £100,000 to £120,000. This procurement, intended to be an open competition, aimed to supply slings for a new fleet of carbines, with a procurement stage set to move from planning to tender. The process has seen developments across various stages beginning with planning in April 2026 and moving to an active tender in May 2026. However, the process was marked by a cancellation notice in June 2026, due to inconsistencies in the tender documents, although there is potential for re-issuance at a later date.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the production or supply of police equipment and firearm accessories, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the procurement's suitability criteria. As the tender process is expected to be relaunched, businesses in these sectors should prepare to leverage the open competition method to secure a contract supplying high-quality, technically competent products, as indicated by the weighted evaluation criteria prioritising technical aspects. Additionally, the potential for contract renewal, with an option for one additional year, presents long-term business opportunities for suppliers who can meet the CNC's specific requirements.
