Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire has completed the contract award process for a tender titled "Proficiency Testing". The procurement, classified under the industry category of "Measuring Instruments", involves using a local exceptional purchase activity method. The supplier, CACI Ltd, has been awarded this contract for a period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029. The tender, aimed at providing proficiency testing through accredited methodology, is valued at £30,000. The contract was finalised on 14th July 2025 and primarily involves delivery to the Lincoln area (postal code LN22LT).

This procurement offers potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing testing and evaluation services, particularly those specialising in administrative services for business operations within the public sector. While the current award went to CACI Ltd, this tender signals a demand for proficiency testing partners, suggesting opportunities in future cycles for organisations equipped with unique testing solutions and methodologies. Companies with experience in forensic units or those capable of fulfilling strict accredited testing requirements would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. While this specific contract was not open to SMEs and VCSE organisations, it underscores the opportunities available for businesses aiming to serve law enforcement agencies.
