Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire Police procured Nexthink software licences and related software services for website categorisation and filtering, to support security and auditing of internet usage. This is a software licensing and security requirement, rather than a general IT services contract. The stated scope centres on Nexthink software and licences; no further functional breakdown is recorded. The buyer is Lincolnshire Police, and the listed delivery address is LN2 2LT in Lincolnshire. The procurement is relevant to software vendors and licensing resellers able to supply Nexthink products for a police organisation’s internet-use monitoring and security needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Phoenix Software. The award date was 19 October 2026, and the awarded value is £29,468. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender deadline was 4 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement is recorded as using an “Other” procedure, without further detail. The contract is described as a single software and licensing requirement, with no separate lot awards. The published evaluation basis and detailed eligibility conditions are not set out in the process information. The award is active; no contract signature or completion outcome is recorded.

This award shows that Lincolnshire Police buys specialist software licences to categorise and filter websites for internet security and audit purposes. Suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s next equivalent requirement would need to demonstrate access to Nexthink software and the ability to supply the associated licences for a police environment. A credible offer should make clear how the software supports website categorisation, filtering, security controls and audit of internet usage. The selected supplier was a software provider, suggesting that product supply and licensing were central to the requirement; businesses focused only on generic IT support or unrelated cybersecurity services are less closely aligned. The requirement was not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
