## Summary

The South Wales Police initiated a framework agreement for the disposal of devices that hold data, including mobile phones, laptops, and removable media. This procurement process, classified under data services, is intended for all Police Forces in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Currently, the procurement is in the tender stage, with a value of £173,000 and an open procedure method. The tender period ended on 16 October 2015, while the contract period began on 18 January 2016 and will conclude on 17 January 2019.

This opportunity presents a significant avenue for growth for businesses specialising in data disposal and recycling services, particularly those with credentials in secure data erasure and CPNI-approved destruction methods. Companies that provide mobile and IT device disposal, secure recycling, or that hold relevant accreditations would be well-positioned to compete in this framework agreement. Engaging with police forces across the UK can enhance service offerings and expand client bases within the public sector.
