Description

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) seeks to award a contract for the supply of plastic tamper-evident property bag security seals.

Single-use seals are used by GMP to preserve the integrity of items, including various forms of evidence collected during crime investigations, seized goods/equipment and/or items of a lost and found nature.

Each seal must be printed with a unique and sequential 7-digit alphanumeric identifier, which is recorded on the GMP property system. This identifier must be indelible as it becomes the main point of reference for the item or transaction in question, giving a fully robust and traceable process that would stand up to scrutiny in court and demonstrate the integrity of the evidence being submitted.

The successful provider will be expected to supply seals with a strap diameter of between 2mm and 4mm, a manual pull-fastening and in-built tamper-evident release mechanism.

A full specification is provided in the Invitation to Tender, which is available on the Bluelight e-tendering portal (www.bluelight.gov.uk).
