Weapon Disposal
Description: South Yorkshire Police is currently in the early stages of developing the requirements for a contract covering for weapon disposal. As part of this work, we are engaging with the market at an early stage to gather insight from potential suppliers. This will help us shape the most appropriate contractual approach and ensure that any future tender is practical, well-structured and attractive to the market. Please note that this activity does not constitute an invitation to tender and is not a request for formal expressions of interest. Instead, this market engagement aims to gather insights from suppliers to understand market capacity, gauge interest, and ensure that the planned procurement is feasible and aligned with current industry capabilities.
Summary: South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority is developing a service contract for weapon disposal on behalf of South Yorkshire Police. The requirement is for the safe and compliant disposal of weapons and ammunition, classified as weapons and ammunition disposal services (CPV 90523100). The work is intended to be delivered in South Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The buyer is consulting potential suppliers at an early stage to understand how the service can be provided and to shape a practical future contract. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of weapons, ammunition or other goods. Businesses operating in specialist weapon disposal, secure collection, controlled storage, transport, treatment or destruction may find the subject matter relevant, subject to the detailed requirements that will be developed.
