Crime Scene Consumables
The Constabulary requires the provision of crime scene consumables to be used across the Force, for example, overshoes, gloves, scrub suits, DNA
sampling kits, fingerprint brush. A new contract is required due to the expiry of the previous contract. The proposal is to use the Blue Light Commercial (BLC) national framework agreement to procure the goods. Funding is already built into the revenue budget to cover the cost of the contract, so there is no budget approval required. It is sensible to award the contract for 3.5 years up until the end of the BLC framework which takes the contract value to £2.1m. Any contract value over £2m requires PCC approval. Download PDF |
