Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside procured a managed service for handling and disposing of explosive substances (Class 1), firearms and weapons. The requirement covers weapons and ammunition disposal services, including the disposal of NOS canisters added through a contract variation. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist public-safety service involving controlled materials and weapons, rather than general courier or waste-disposal work. The requirement was placed through a Crown Commercial Service framework for courier and specialist movements, specifically its lot for managed services for explosive substances, firearms and weapons.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Same Day PLC trading as Guardian Services. The buyer used a direct award call-off from the Crown Commercial Service framework, without a prior competition, on the stated basis that this repeated existing services under the framework’s conditions. The contract was signed on 7 March 2025 and has a stated duration of 1,440 days. Its recorded value is £101,861. One bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion, weighted at 50%. A variation added disposal of NOS canisters; the buyer said a quote process identified the lowest-cost supplier for that additional service. The associated lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s requirement when it next returns to the market, the award indicates demand for a specialist managed service covering explosive substances, firearms and weapons, with disposal capability extending to NOS canisters. Credible providers would need the operational expertise, controls and capacity to handle and dispose of these materials safely and in line with applicable requirements. The successful supplier was appointed through an established Crown Commercial Service framework route for specialist movements, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to qualify for and deliver through the relevant framework. Price formed part of the evaluation, and the buyer used a quote process for the additional canister disposal service. The selected company was an SME, showing that this contract was delivered by a specialist supplier rather than necessarily requiring a large general contractor.
