Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire procured investigative team staffing services. The requirement covers recruitment and placement of personnel, the supply of temporary staff, and wider personnel services outside placement and supply. It is a services contract supporting the buyer’s investigative work, with delivery associated with the buyer’s operations in Lincoln. The procurement is relevant to recruitment agencies, specialist staffing providers and workforce suppliers able to provide investigative personnel and related staffing support. The selected supplier, Matrix SCM, is a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a substantial staffing provider rather than an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise.

This completed procurement was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Two active awards were made to Matrix SCM. The first award was dated 4 September 2025, valued at £105,840, and covers 8 September 2025 to 7 September 2026. The second award was dated 7 October 2025, valued at £237,800, and covers 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026. The wider procurement was valued at £237,000, with submissions due by 30 August 2025 at 12:00. The awards therefore represent separate awarded values and periods and should not be combined. The tender itself was complete when these outcomes were recorded.

For suppliers that did not win, this procurement demonstrates established demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire for outsourced investigative staffing and personnel support. A credible competitor would need to recruit, vet and deploy suitable investigative personnel, manage temporary staffing arrangements and provide reliable workforce administration. Experience supplying staff into policing, investigations or other controlled public-sector environments would help demonstrate operational understanding, resilience and confidentiality. The requirement was placed through a framework call-off and awarded to a large staffing business, so future competitors should be able to operate at comparable organisational scale, manage multiple personnel requirements and meet the governance, quality and assurance expectations associated with investigative work.
