Disposals of all bicycles recorded as disposed between January 2019 to January 2023
Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.028121
I note you seek access to the following information:
Disposals of all bicycles recorded as disposed between 2019 to date.
Decision
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.
Please find below information pursuant to your request above.
Please note that not all bicycles collected are/were booked onto an Locally Delivered Support Services (LDSS) managed system and so the MPS cannot centrally report on the numbers held in yards across the MPS estate unless they were booked onto either ePMS or CONNECT electronic systems.

Detail of recorded bicycle types where given and disposed in period
This response only contains details of bicycles which had been brought into LDSS care and recorded during the period in question. Any bicycles not held by LDSS were not included up to the point where the previous property management system (ePMS - Evidential Property Management System) was managed by MO11.
From 29 November 2022 the MPS changed how property was recorded and all items were booked onto CONNECT by officers and then managed either by MO11 or the officer as appropriate.
This has been split into two sections to show general disposals by bicycle type and Return to owner by bicycle type. It does not include any bicycles sent to auction. The MPS have not had an update on Auction bicycles in 2023.

**Cycle Parts is a generic term and can include full frames, wheels or other parts approved for disposal.
*** There is no record of bicycle types, this relates to how the data migrated from a previous systems into ePMS and then into CONNECT. Bicycle types were not recorded prior to ePMS.
