The proposed Supplier Day will be held at: MPSTC, Gravesend, Kent. DA12 2HN.

On the 9th October 2023

The day will consist of:

Site briefing by MPSTC Staff. (09:00)

Supplier demonstrations - open forum. (09:15 - 12:15) *

The next 3 hours will be given over to industry to demonstrate their products in turn in an open forum, where they may be asked questions by Met Police delegation. Please note, there will be no live fire opportunity within the day, this is for a visual and descriptive demonstration only.

Lunch (12:15 - 13:00).

Lunch will be available in the staff canteen for those wishing to take it.

Breakout sessions. (13:00 - 15:00) *

Each supplier will be given a 15 minute slot (if needed) where they can show any product not yet commercially available. This time may be reduced as suppliers are expected to demonstrate current products in the open forum.

The pistols must be Optics Ready to accept Miniature Red Dot Sights.

The pistols must function with current operational police ammunition

The pistols must be readily available in full size, compact size and should be available in a micro compact size

The pistols must be fitted with a Picatinny style rail system to allow the use of lights and other accessories
