Government publishes
the latest round of police procurement data
New data on police procurement highlights the
need for police forces to push opportunities to collaborate in order to deliver
greater value for money for the taxpayer.
Since 2010/11 forces have saved in excess of
£290m through better procurement and collaboration, but new information
released today shows that that there are still many areas where forces could
work together to identify savings.
The release is part of the Government’s
transparency agenda to make the police more accountable to the public, and
provide information on the prices paid by police for 18 essential items
including forensic, telephony and office supplies. Forces are also asked to
report on the extent to which they have collaborated to purchase these items. […]
Today’s release follows the publication in
September 2015 of the prices paid by the police for items of vehicles, uniform
and related equipment and will allow the public to further compare all 43
forces in England Wales. Some of the items in today’s release illustrate the
complex and changing demand on police resources, for example for the analysis
of mobile telephones.
The items included are: DNA test, toxicology test,
mobile phone examination, forensic stain analysis, credit report, temporary
staff – administrator, hire car one day hire, hire car 30-day hire, standard
office white copier paper, telephone Interpretation - including call recording
(Mon-Fri working hours), face to face interpreter (Mon-Fri working hours) -
