This tender is currently in the open stage, with the submission period closing on 16th January 2017. The total estimated value of the contract is £200,000, with a minimum value of £50,000. The procurement is classified under the goods category, specifically focusing on computer equipment and supplies, and is intended for use across various locations in Cheshire including police headquarters and local stations. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in technology and telecommunications equipment. Companies that manufacture or supply computer equipment, apparatus for data processing, and examination tools would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this contract could allow businesses to expand their footprint in the public sector and align with Cheshire Constabulary's priority to leverage innovative technology in enhancing community services. ## Notice Cheshire Constabulary is experiencing an increase in demand for front line policing to examine mobile devices and associated hardware such as SIM cards. Demand for this facility is expected to continue to rise. It is important to meet this demand and to empower front line investigators to carry out these examinations 24/7. This will ensure that: * The minimum number of suspects have to be bailed pending the examination of their mobile devices and that when it is necessary, the duration of their bail is minimised; * Victims and witnesses are not unduly inconvenienced when it is necessary to examine their mobile devices; * Turnaround times for examination of mobile devices is significantly reduced; and * Submissions to the e-Forensics unit are reduced, enabling skilled staff to focus on more complex technical examinations. The vision for Cheshire Constabulary is that frontline investigators will have access to mobile device examination equipment at a number of local sites including Custody Suites, Local Police Stations and Headquarters. A number of trained frontline investigators will carry out mobile device examinations on behalf of their colleagues. These trained frontline investigators will advise colleagues on what information may be obtained from mobile devices, how to preserve the evidence and how to use it to develop lines of enquiry. This will ensure that: * Wasteful examinations will be prevented by a formalised decision-making process that also ensures force-wide consistency; * There will be strong governance of the equipment and procedures, with an operational manager who is accountable for sustaining and promoting the proper use of the equipment; and * This vision is consistent with the Police & Crime Plan Priority of "building on the use of innovative technology to deliver better services to the communities of Cheshire". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bf4e6b0-b044-4a3b-8299-3a389720b596 | | 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 | 16 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | 16 Jan 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2017 - 31 Mar 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | 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 | CHESHIRE CONSTABULARY ON BEHALF OF THE POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR CHESHIRE | | Locality | WINSFORD,CHESHIRE | | Post town | Crewe | | Postcode | CW7 2UA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD6 Cheshire | | ITL 3 | TLD63 Cheshire West and Chester | | Local authority | Cheshire West and Chester | | Electoral ward | Winsford Over & Verdin | | Westminster constituency | Mid Cheshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 30 - Office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies except furniture and software packages - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 30200000 - Computer equipment and supplies - 31640000 - Machines and apparatus with individual functions - 32500000 - Telecommunications equipment and supplies - 38000000 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 72610000 - Computer support services ## Release History - 16 Dec 2016 at 15:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bf4e6b0-b044-4a3b-8299-3a389720b596 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6bf4e6b0-b044-4a3b-8299-3a389720b596 16th December 2016 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=18467&B=BLUELIGHT The opportunity can be accessed on the Bluelight e-Sourcing portal https://bluelight.eu-supply.com/ under reference 26180.
