This procurement is currently at the tender stage, with proposals due by 27th March 2018. Delivery is expected to occur in the North West region of the United Kingdom, and the contract is set to commence on 1st July 2018, lasting until 30th June 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for a competitive bidding process. This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in the production of security materials, bespoke printed items, and related products. Businesses with capabilities in manufacturing tamper-evident seals, particularly those that can meet the stringent specifications required by law enforcement agencies, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this tender could facilitate significant growth, as suppliers will be integral in ensuring the preservation and integrity of evidence within the justice system. ## Notice 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). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05381721-5cae-4fdd-97d5-5f75976ec638 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Mar 2018 | | Submission deadline | 27 Mar 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2018 - 30 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY - GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M11 2NS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Clayton & Openshaw | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 22 - Printed matter and related products - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment ### Codes - 22450000 - Security-type printed matter - 22458000 - Bespoke printed matter - 35121300 - Security fittings - 35121500 - Seals - 35121600 - Tags ## Release History - 2 Mar 2018 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05381721-5cae-4fdd-97d5-5f75976ec638 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/05381721-5cae-4fdd-97d5-5f75976ec638 2nd March 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=23474&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/35572 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
