Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Out of Court Resolution" service has been conducted by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, a sub-central government public authority. The project is focused on providing services related to administration and community, aligning with new legislative requirements under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. This open competition procurement, under the light-touch regime, has been concluded with the award of a contract to RED SNAPPER LEARNING LTD, commencing on 4 August 2025 and ending on 3 August 2026, with potential two 12-month extensions. Located in the UK, specifically Lincoln, this initiative forms part of widespread efforts to introduce a mandatory two-tier framework for Out of Court Resolutions, valued at £250,000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in legal administrative services, digital learning, and interventions, especially those capable of delivering scalable solutions that can cater to diverse populations, including non-English speakers across Lincolnshire. SMEs with expertise in online educational programs that can provide interactive, accessible, and comprehensive solutions for offenders to meet legal compliance and behavioural improvement will find this contract particularly advantageous. The project lays a solid foundation for those in the rehabilitation and community service sectors to engage in sustainable partnerships with law enforcement entities, contributing to community welfare and justice system efficiency.
