    Brief

    The Authority seeks a reliable and safe supply of ceremonial ammunition charges compatible with three military gun systems: the RN 3 Pounder Saluting Gun, Army Quick Fire 13 Pounder Field Gun, and L118 105mm Light Gun. The ammunition must produce effective audible and visible ceremonial effects in both daylight and night conditions while maintaining strict safety standards for noise levels, debris, combustion products, and personnel/public/environmental protection. Suppliers should provide charges that remain effective throughout their service life across various operating environments, meet all authorised storage and transportation requirements, and comply with defined safety constraints. This is a pipeline opportunity for ongoing supply.
