Tender description
This contract is for the installation and support of a suite of tools to enhance Greater Manchester Police's digital forensic capabilities, streamlining digital investigations, and improving overall efficiency in the handling of digital evidence. The contract will enable the Digital Forensics Investigation Unit (DFIU) to optimise the use of existing analytical tools and applications, by allowing multiple mobile devices to be extracted concurrently. It will also reduce bottlenecks in the workflow and ultimately help to manage caseloads more effectively. For example, allowing the DFIU to decrypt and acquire data from a single mobile device to multiple devices daily. Please Note: The Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police will be given equal rights to the Authority to enforce the provisions of the Contract, under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

About the buyer
Greater Manchester Police is the territorial force for Greater Manchester's ten boroughs, covering Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan, and buys as a blue light body. New tenders are advertised through the Bluelight eTendering portal. Contracts also appear on the Chest, the North West's shared procurement portal used by local authorities across the region. Contractual standing orders set the rules for open and accountable purchasing. The Mayor of Greater Manchester also serves as police and crime commissioner for the force. A Police, Fire and Crime Panel scrutinises how the mayor exercises these powers.
The top 10 blue light buyers spent a collective £2.2bn between FY2021 and FY2025.
Over the past 5 years, most of Greater Manchester Police's contract awards have been in software and information systems, IT services and office and computing equipment.
