Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire bought additional staffing services for a department, described as “FTE Staff”. The requirement is classified as specialist training services, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide personnel and associated specialist training support rather than general goods or construction work. Delivery is associated with the buyer’s operation in Lincoln. The purchasing organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire. The selected supplier, Red Snapper Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. This requirement is therefore relevant to staffing, recruitment, workforce support and specialist training businesses with the operational capacity to provide additional personnel to a policing-related public sector department.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Red Snapper Limited on 27 April 2026. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 April 2026 at 12:00. The estimated procurement value was £26,000, while the awarded value was £26,460, both in GBP. The awarded contract runs from 13 April 2026 to 30 September 2026. The requirement was identified as a services contract and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier is recorded as having received the award. The award status is active.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire for additional departmental staffing delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework route, the ability to supply suitable personnel at short notice when required, and experience supporting public sector or policing-related workforce needs. Because the requirement is classified around specialist training services as well as staffing, suppliers should be able to demonstrate relevant training expertise, qualified personnel, dependable workforce management and appropriate quality controls. An SME scale is demonstrably capable of winning this type of requirement, so smaller staffing, recruitment and specialist training providers may be well placed to compete when comparable demand returns.
