## Summary

The procurement process for "Operational Ammunition 2027" is being spearheaded by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime, a public authority in London, United Kingdom. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with the Metropolitan Police Service conducting a preliminary market engagement. The main industry category is ammunition, with a focus on goods, specifically various calibres such as 9x19mm and 0.308 calibre. Interested parties are invited to participate in a Market Engagement Questionnaire available via the COUPA Procurement Portal by 30th June 2026, with an optional webinar scheduled for 11th June 2026 to further clarify requirements. The procurement process involves planning for a framework agreement, and the subsequent contract period is set to commence on 20th March 2027 and conclude on 20th March 2032.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of supplying ammunition, especially those experienced with government contracts. With an estimated gross value of £2,082,000, it presents ample scope for both large-scale ammunition manufacturers and specialists in specific calibres to engage with the Metropolitan Police Service. Businesses located in or able to supply the United Kingdom will be well-positioned to take advantage of this opportunity, especially if they can demonstrate readiness to fulfil the contract terms within the specified timeline. The structured framework agreement approach also ensures long-term engagement with the possibility of developing ongoing relationships with governmental agencies.
