## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for the Greater Manchester Police, focusing on the refurbishment and refresh of its computing hardware. This market engagement is aimed at assessing supplier capability for a significant update of their end-user computing assets. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of computer equipment and hardware consultancy services, is located in the United Kingdom, specific to the region UKD3. Interested suppliers are invited to express interest by 5th June 2026, and further information is provided via a market engagement questionnaire accessible through the procurement contact at Greater Manchester Police.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in computer equipment refurbishment and consultancy services to showcase their expertise and capability within a secure police environment. It appeals particularly to companies adept in data security and compliance measures, who can handle substantial volumes of devices and demonstrate flexibility in balancing new and refurbished options. Businesses experienced in ethical disposal and asset management will find this tender suitable, offering prospects for growth by aligning with the needs of a prominent public authority. Service providers with the capacity for on-site logistical support and efficient refurbishment turnaround may find competitive advantages within this procurement process.

## Notice

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), as the contracting authority for Greater Manchester Police (GMP), would like to hear from suppliers willing to share information about possible solutions for the Force's upcoming laptop refresh project. GMP is preparing for a significant refresh of its end-user computing estate. We are exploring market capability to deliver a hybrid model that balances cost efficiency, sustainability and performance through a mixture of refurbished and new devices. Key to our requirements will be the security and compliance measures suppliers employ during refurbishment, particularly around data sanitisation (i.e. certified wiping processes, tools used, audit trails and adherence to security standards) and asset tracking. Suppliers should also outline how they manage devices that cannot be refurbished, including ethical disposal, resale or alternative recovery options. We are also looking to understand turnaround times, refurbishment throughput and overall capacity to process the volume of devices we hold. Considerations also include requirements for on-site presence by supplier staff to support secure erasure, logistics, device transport, and handover processes. This preliminary market engagement seeks to understand the capacity and capability of suppliers who can deliver this type of service within a police secure environment. Whilst the contracting Authority is the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, this contract will be procured and managed by the Greater Manchester Police.
