## Summary

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire bought Glock handguns, equipment and accessories for Northamptonshire Police. This is a supply of firearms and associated equipment, classified under CPV 35300000. Delivery is identified in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. The requirement covers the handguns and their related equipment and accessories; the published scope does not break these down into individual products or quantities. The purchasing organisation is the Commissioner, with Northamptonshire Police as the intended user. This is a single-lot goods procurement, rather than a service or works contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Viking Arms Ltd. The Commissioner used a below-threshold direct award without competition, stating that this was because there was only one supplier for the requirement. The award is active, and the contract is active. It was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 8 October 2026 to 7 October 2029. The contract value is £110,000 excluding VAT and £132,000 including VAT. The process comprised one lot. No separate evaluation scoring basis is recorded; the stated justification for selecting the supplier was its sole-supplier status.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from the Commissioner, this award indicates demand for Glock handguns and associated equipment and accessories for police use in Northamptonshire. A credible supplier would need to provide the specified Glock products and related equipment, and demonstrate that it can meet the police buyer’s supply requirement. Viking Arms Ltd, an SME, was selected through a direct award on the stated basis that it was the only supplier for this requirement. The award therefore shows that the buyer considered supplier availability decisive in this procurement; a competitor would need to establish that it can supply the required products and is a viable source for the same requirement. The contract covered a three-year period, indicating a multi-year supply arrangement rather than a one-off purchase.»}
