self-loading pistols supplier day

Descriptions

The MPS is keen to explore the acquisition of miniature red dot sights for its range of self-loading pistols and are therefore interested in hosting a Supplier Day, where industry can demonstrate their optics ready family of self-loading pistols to a small group of interested observers from within the Met. We must however make it clear, funding has not yet been secured for this project. 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.
