The Physical Forensic Services Dynamic Purchasing System (PF DPS) is available to police forces and law enforcement agencies to tender their physical forensic service requirements.

The Next Generation Procurement (NGP) Physical Forensics Services Dynamic Purchasing System was created in collaboration with the Forensic Capability Network, in consultation with force SME, FSPs and other key stakeholders.

The aim of the NGP is to deliver a collaborative approach to the next generation of traditional, physical forensic services such as: toxicology; DNA analysis; drug testing; ecology; and crime stain analysis.

The NGP delivers a nationally standardised specification and terms and conditions to build a cohesive agile marketplace environment, where there is opportunity for service delivery and to seek greater clarity and transparency on capacity of the current and future needs of policing and the criminal justice system.

Through the NGP pipeline we support forces undertaking their mini-competitions offering advice and guidance and the management of their tenders, ensuring delivery of value for money for policing

Throughout the life of the DPS and Call-Off Contracts we will support where required both forces and suppliers through embedding a culture of collaborative working partnerships.
