Small Calibre Impact Launcher System
Small Calibre Impact Launcher System including ammunition and ancillary goods and services
Buyer: Home Office →
The aim of the procurement is to award a framework for the provision of Small Calibre Impact Launcher systems (SCILs) and Kinetic Impact Projectile systems (KIPs) to supplement existing Less Lethal Weapons capability across Policing. The two-lot framework is expected to be four years in term, with a total noncommittal ceiling value of £40m. Interested suppliers will be invited to submit one bid for one or both lots. The intention is to award two contracts per lot, with a total of four systems available for purchase by UK and NI Policing via a direct award procedure (two SCILs, two KIPs).

| Item | Category | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Firearms, Anti-riot equipment, Ammunition | Not published |
| 2 | Firearms, Anti-riot equipment, Ammunition | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 35. The category anchor is Anti-riot equipment (35220000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 35 | 1,106 | 3 median · 36.4 average (310 of 1,106 with a bid count) | 3.7 average (337 of 1,106 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 14 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKN | 32 | 3 median · 11.6 average (10 of 32 with a bid count) | 2.3 average (12 of 32 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 73 | 192 median · 192 average (2 of 73 with a bid count) | 21 average (2 of 73 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
Diagnostic view. “Not published” means this current release does not provide a value.
