## Summary

The Civil Nuclear Police Authority (CNPA) and the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), a public authority operating under sub-central government in the United Kingdom, have initiated a tender for the procurement of "Carbine Magazines." This tender falls under the industry category of "Weapons, ammunition and associated parts" and is primarily classified as a procurement of goods with additional service components. The process is in the tender stage, and it is conducted as an open competition below the threshold value. The tender period closes on 22nd July 2026, with an enquiry period ending on 15th July 2026. The contract, valued at £160,000 net (with a gross amount of £192,000), will commence on 21st September 2026 and continue until 20th June 2031, with options for two additional years. The procurement location is specified as the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacture and supply of weapon accessories, particularly those experienced in producing components that ensure reliable performance in challenging environments. The emphasis on quality over price, with a 70% weighting given to technical criteria versus 30% for price, suggests that innovative and high-quality solutions will be favoured. Companies with robust capabilities in precision manufacturing and quality assurance, particularly those familiar with the stringent requirements of law enforcement equipment, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The open procurement method encourages participation from a diverse range of suppliers, thus fostering competitive business growth.
