Description

The procurement process followed an Open Procedure, ensuring full transparency and compliance with public sector procurement regulations. Multiple submissions were received and evaluated against rigorous technical and commercial criteria, with the HK416 emerging as the preferred weapon system.

The selection process included:
- Pre-qualification assessments to ensure compliance with essential operational and legal requirements.
- Technical evaluations, including live-firing exercises, ergonomic assessments, and tactical applications.
- Commercial assessments, ensuring value for money and long-term cost efficiency.

Based on these evaluations, this report recommends awarding the contract to NSAF Ltd T/A Heckler & Koch GB.

The decision aligns with the City of London Police's operational requirements and ensures the timely replacement of outdated weapon systems within the allocated budget.

Approval of this report will authorise the formal awarding of the contract and enable the procurement process to proceed within the required timeline, pending the Commissioner's final endorsement of the selected weapon system.
