The pistols will replace the army’s aging P-64 Czak and P-83 Wanad semi-automatic 9mm pistols.
The MoD also has plans to buy new 5.56mm assault rifles with under-slung 30mm grenade launchers, and 7.62mm sniper rifles.
The deal, part of the Polish Soldier of the Future project, is expected to be finalised by the end of 2015.
Deliveries of the pistols will begin from 2012 and run through 2018.
