Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Humberside Police involves the acquisition of a franking machine to be installed at the Priory Road Police Station. The buying organisation responsible is The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside. This procurement falls under the goods category, specifically within the mailroom equipment sector, based in region UKE. The process reached the award stage, concluding with a contract signed on 18th November 2025. This limited procedure did not require a prior call for competition as it was a direct award under the CCS framework RM6280. The procurement method rationale was based on regulations stating it was outside the directive's scope. The contract was valued at £13,047.96.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in mailroom or post-office equipment supply and maintenance to expand their reach within public sector contracts. The successful supplier, Quadient UK Limited, highlights that larger companies already established within this sector are well-suited to compete for similar government procurement frameworks. Engaging in these frameworks can offer sustainable business growth through long-term leasing and maintenance contracts, proving beneficial for both mid-sized and large enterprises looking to strengthen their position in the market.
