Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, overseen by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, involved the purchase of a converted shipping container to be used as a Multi-Agency Hub. Classified under the industry category of modular and portable buildings, this process has been completed, with the award made on 28th August 2025. The procurement utilised a direct method, described as "below threshold - without competition," reflecting a non-competitive purchase agreeing with the UKPGA legal framework (2023/54). Major activities under this contract concentrated within the UKF3 region of the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in modular or portable infrastructure, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises that can offer bespoke solutions for public authorities. Suppliers like Space Project Hull Ltd, a successful SME in this case, can leverage their expertise in the goods category to deliver effective solutions for government departments and public entities, thus enhancing their market reach and portfolio with similar future projects. Businesses adept in producing specialised or custom-built constructions stand an excellent position to engage with opportunities involving direct procurement methods by government bodies at sub-central levels.
