Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire recently completed the procurement process for a three-year subscription to the Solarwinds Network Application, which falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category. This award was made as part of a direct procurement method described as "Below threshold - without competition," therefore bypassing the competitive bidding stage. The contract commenced on 20th March 2026 and will conclude on 19th March 2029. Located at the Police Headquarters in Lincoln, United Kingdom, this public authority functions at the sub-central government level. The contract's value stands at £86,001.58.

The procurement of the Solarwinds Network Application heralds potential growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly those offering network monitoring services. Although the award did not entail a competitive process, businesses in adjacent sectors such as IT services or cybersecurity may explore future partnerships or sub-contracting opportunities with the awarded supplier, BOXXE LIMITED, based in York. Engaging in such contracts can provide visibility and potential expansion into public sector markets, offering a platform for scaling solutions to meet governmental tech needs. Large-scale enterprises with advanced software capabilities are ideally positioned to compete for similar projects in the future.
