Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Police is procuring office supplies for its operational needs. The requirement is classified as goods and covers office supplies, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Government Commercial Agency, acting on behalf of Lincolnshire Police and the Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner. The scope is stated at category level rather than broken down into specific products or quantities, so suppliers whose business includes supplying general office materials are the closest fit. This is a purchasing requirement for goods, rather than a services or works contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Paragon Customer Communications (London) Limited. The award was made on 23 July 2026 for £144,000, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The estimated procurement value was also £144,000. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 1 July 2026. The process is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are described. The published award information gives no evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be stated.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Lincolnshire Police for general office supplies through a framework call-off, at a moderate contract scale. The selected supplier is a large company, but the procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, indicating that smaller office-supply firms may also be relevant competitors. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to provide a dependable range of everyday office materials and fulfil deliveries across the United Kingdom. The stated scope is broad rather than product-specific, so experience serving organisational purchasing requirements and the capacity to meet routine supply needs would be commercially pertinent. The award establishes the type of goods and purchasing route this buyer has used; it does not establish detailed product, service-level or accreditation requirements.
