Forensic Marking Products · UK public procurement notice
Authority: Cheshire Constabulary on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (Police & fire)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire (PCC) as the Authority aims to appoint a suitably qualified single supplier of Forensic Marking Products for Offender Identification and Property Marking. The offender identification products will be required to uniquely identify an offender through a forensic solution such as spray or grease derived from the subject’s criminal actions at a crime scene where the product has been covertly or overtly installed.
The Framework will be open for participation by Police Forces named in section II.2.4, and will have a term of 4 years.
Please note the value of £1m is an estimate. The actual spend will depend on funding available to the named Forces through national campaigns such as Safer Streets. The PCC cannot guarantee to suppliers any business through this Framework Agreement.
Full details can be found within the Online ITT – which is constructed as an online questionnaire with supporting files in the document folder.

- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Forensic Marking Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
