## Summary

The Chief Constable for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight is buying Glock Generation 6 pistols, compatible red dot sight systems, and associated equipment and accessories for policing. This is a firearms and weapons supply requirement (CPV 35300000). Delivery is to locations in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The requirement covers the specified pistol model and its compatible sighting system, together with related equipment and accessories.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Viking Arms Limited. The award was made on 8 October 2026, with a net value of £331,663 and a gross value of £397,995.60. The contract period runs from 20 October to 24 December 2026. The buyer used a direct award, stating that Viking Arms holds exclusive UK distribution rights for Glock firearms supplied to UK police forces and is the only supplier able to meet this specified requirement; it considered there were no reasonable alternative suppliers. The contract was evaluated on the basis that the specified goods had no alternative source of supply. The process was handled as a single lot.

For suppliers tracking recurring police firearms demand, this award shows that the Chief Constable for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight buys a specified Glock pistol model with compatible red dot sights and associated accessories. The selected supplier was able to supply the exact Glock requirement and held exclusive UK distribution rights for Glock firearms to UK police forces; the buyer relied on those rights to justify a direct award. A credible competitor for the same requirement would therefore need authorised access to the specified Glock products and compatible sighting system, plus the capacity to provide associated equipment and deliver across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The award indicates that product-specific supply rights, rather than a broad firearms capability alone, were decisive in this purchase.

### Procurement Information

Viking Arms Ltd holds the exclusive UK distribution rights for the supply of Glock firearms to UK police forces. Consequently, due to these exclusive rights, Viking Arms Ltd is the only supplier able to supply the specified Glock firearms required by the Contracting Authority. There are no reasonable alternative suppliers able to provide the specified requirement. A competitive procurement would therefore not provide an alternative source of supply for these goods. The Contracting Authority considers that the conditions for direct award under section 41 and Schedule 5, paragraph 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 are met.
