Opportunity overview

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is intending to procure a contract for Outsourcing of Digital Forensics Analysis (A1167). The contract covers the outsourcing of the forensic analysis of digital devices and also cell site analysis. The current contracts (a number of suppliers are used) are call off contracts using a framework managed by the National Crime Agency (NCA).

It should be noted that any tender/business opportunities for Greater Manchester Police are advertised on our 'Bluelight' Emergency Services eTendering system, Sell2Bluelight, which is also used by other Bluelight organisations. Suppliers should not assume that this will be the platform for any tender conducted by NCA. For general information, a new guidance document for Suppliers using Sell2Bluelight (In-Tend) has been created and is available via the below link. This guide will help with registration, how to view and submit tenders, and deal with correspondence. https://bluelightcommercial.police.uk/media/2284/sell2bluelight-in-tend-full-supplier-guide.pdf Whilst the Contracting Authority is the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, any call-off contracts will be managed by the Greater Manchester Police.
