## Summary

The British Transport Police Authority has completed a procurement process for explosives detection dog training aids under the framework C16828 Lot 1. This contract, identified by the code BTP/CON/1176, was awarded to Thor Industries Ltd on 17th July 2026, with an active contract period from 20th July 2026 to 31st December 2026. The procurement falls into the "goods" category, specifically involving products classified under explosives and security equipment within the UK.
