## Summary

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) / Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC) initiated a tender process entitled "Carbine Torches" in the industry category of police and security equipment. The contracting authority located in Abingdon, United Kingdom, used the open procurement method for this process. The tender, valued at £170,000, was first published on 27 May 2026, with a submission deadline set for 27 June 2026. The procurement process, currently marked as cancelled as of 15 June 2026, was intended to secure the supply of torches adapted for police use, indicating a significant investment in security equipment.

This procurement opportunity presents growth potential for businesses specialising in police and defence equipment, particularly those capable of delivering high-technical specifications at competitive prices, as the award criteria prioritise 60% technical merit and 40% price. Suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the tender sought to engage businesses with the capability to supply goods throughout the UK over an extended contract period, with provisions for renewals, thus offering a stable, long-term business prospect. Interested suppliers are encouraged to watch for a re-published tender following the cancellation due to document inconsistencies, which may bring a revitalised opportunity to compete.
