Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire procured support and maintenance for the Crown Duty Management System, an industry-specific software package used for duty management. The requirement covers the system’s ongoing support and maintenance, rather than a new software implementation. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, in the East Midlands. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and Crown Computing Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 1 September 2025, with a contract period from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £74,835. The requirement was let through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closing deadline was 30 August 2025 at noon. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement information does not set out an evaluation basis or criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire’s police and crime commissioner for continuing support and maintenance of its Crown Duty Management System. A credible competitor when this requirement next returns to market would need the capability to maintain and support that specific system, with sufficient service capacity to provide continuity throughout the contract. The award went to Crown Computing Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was able to fulfil the requirement. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete for a selective call-off.
