Disposal of IT Criminal Exhibits

“The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is seeking to engage the market to inform the development of a solution for the secure disposal of IT criminal exhibit digital media, including but not limited to mobile phones, hard drives, and USB storage devices. This pre-procurement activity is intended to assess supplier capability and capacity to deliver a service that meets the operational, security, and compliance requirements associated with handling sensitive evidential material. There is a need to establish a structured, scalable, and repeatable service model to support ongoing disposal activity of IT criminal exhibits. The anticipated requirement will include, but is not limited to the secure collection, transportation, and destruction of digital storage media, with a strong emphasis on data irretrievability and evidential integrity.”
