Disposal and Destruction of Firearms and other Weapons

Descriptions

The Procurement Department of Gwent Police is currently reviewing options for the secure disposal and destruction of firearms, knives and other similar weapons. The purpose of this publication is to widen the knowledge of the market place through encouraging companies who may be interested in providing a service or dedicated equipment/ machinery to contact Gwent Police.The long-term intention of this exercise is to put in place a formal contract for either the provision of an off-site service provider/s who has the ability to destroy weapons, or for the one-off purchase of a shearing machine to allow Gwent Police staff to destroy weapons on-site. The decision on which is the most beneficial option for Gwent Police will be made internally once sufficient market information has been gained.If you are a Registered Firearms Dealer, Scrap Metal merchant or manufacturer/ distributor of Shearer Machines and/ or believe that you can provide this service either currently or in the future, we would like to speak to you.Please contact Rachael Barton, Senior Procurement Officer via Rachael.barton@gwent.pnn.police.uk or alternatively call 01633 642363 for further information.Please be aware that this is NOT an advert or any such call for competition, this is purely to gain knowledge and information of the market place. The date of 1st of July as required to provide in this notice is purely speculative, and contact is welcomed to clarify the status of this project periodically.NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at http://www.sell2wales.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=8903.
