The Metropolitan Police (MPS) have started to employ the national procurement hub (NPPH) to offer tender for services and equipment.

The procurement office is an e-marketplace that is intended to provide cost savings across the police force to 43 services.

The police procuremment hub was created by Procserve and acts as a “Amazon-Style” online procurement service.

Lee Tribe, director of procurement for MPS said: “Users within the MPS have access to a greater variety of products and services, and faster delivery times.”
