Tender description

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is seeking to engage the market to inform the development of a solution for the secure disposal of criminal exhibit digital media, including but not limited to mobile phones, hard drives, and USB storage devices. This pre-procurement activity is intended to assess supplier capability and capacity to deliver a service that meets the operational, security, and compliance requirements associated with handling sensitive evidential material. There is a need to establish a structured, scalable, and repeatable service model to support ongoing disposal activity of 2.9m+ criminal exhibits (current stock holding). The anticipated requirement will include but not limited to the secure collection, transportation, and destruction of digital storage media, with a strong emphasis on data irretrievability and evidential integrity.
