Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under review involves The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, focusing on the extension of the provision of mobile SIM cards and access to an online customer portal. This initiative falls under the telecommunications equipment and supplies industry category and takes place in Lincoln, England, with a specific delivery address of postal code LN2 2LT. The procurement stage is completed, with a contract awarded to British Telecommunications on 3rd September 2025, following a tender initiated on 16th September 2024. The contract, valued at £91,584, commences on 17th November 2025 and concludes on 16th November 2026, extending the original contract (CCM/0614) through a framework call-off.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large-scale telecommunications firms capable of providing mobile SIM cards and accompanying online services. Although not ideally suited for SMEs or VCSEs, companies with existing framework agreements and expertise in delivering telecommunications solutions to law enforcement agencies can strengthen market presence and establish long-term partnerships. The structured procurement method through an extension of the current contract ensures continuity of service, further solidifying the business relationship with the Lincolnshire Police.
