Bid for rape and other evidence collection kits for SAPS granted | IOL News

In 2017, reports of alleged corruption between a supplier and certain police officers emerged compelling the SAPS to stop purchasing evidence collection kits from that supplier, the police ministry and SAPS said in a joint statement on Sunday.

This meant that at national level, supply chain would procure the kits and distribute them throughout the country and the numbers were managed on a centralised system. "Police management is now happy to announce that, following a rigorous bid process, a contract to supply evidence collection kits has been entered into with a company on Friday, 16 August 2019," the statement said.

The first consignment of kits was received on Saturday and were being strategically distributed to provinces on Sunday to augment their existing stocks. A detailed distribution plan had been designed and implemented for this purpose. Further stocks of these kits would be received on an ongoing basis and distributed to provinces over the next three years.
