HMRC, NCA and IE also detain/seize goods through their inland operations which shall require disposal, destruction or recycling. The Authority is seeking a managed service provider or a prime contractor who will provide a flexible, secure, efficient, auditable end-to-end disposal service for seized goods and act as a single point of contact for the Authority to deal with. In handling the seized goods, the contractor will be required to provide secure facilities and procedures; prevent loss; maintain an accurate audit trail of all its activities; ensure that the chain of evidence is maintained; provide destruction certificates; provide value for money; and comply with indicative holding timelines. High temperature incineration of drugs and shredding facilities for tobacco will be required. The Authority may consider alternative disposal methods not currently utilised for seized goods such as "Waste to Energy" or "Anaerobic Digestion". Income generation from disposals through recycling of seized goods will be expected. Seized goods will include: - drugs banned by the UK Government under the misuse of drugs act, the medicines act and the psychoactive substances act, - controlled Medicine and Drugs including Stereoisomeric forms or salts thereof, - offensive Weapons (including knuckle dusters, knives, stun guns, taser guns), - radioactive materials, - firearms (including ammunition), - khat, - tobacco, - alcohol, - Products of Animal Origin (POAO)/Plant Based Goods (PBG), - nitrous oxide and aerosols, - perfume and cosmetics, - counterfeit goods (including footwear, clothing, batteries and other goods), - cover Load goods (including furniture, textiles, stationery, building materials), - packaging materials, - CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) Goods, and - fuels.
