Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Provision of Healthcare Services in Custody". This service involves providing a comprehensive healthcare solution, operating 24/7 throughout the year, for four custody suites across Lincolnshire. The procurement is categorized under administrative healthcare services, medical practice, and related services, and will be conducted using an open procedure. A key event in this process is a Supplier Engagement Event scheduled on 2nd September 2026 at Lincolnshire Police Headquarters, with organisations being encouraged to register by 21st August 2026. The procurement process is expected to commence in September 2026, with tenders to be submitted by 20th February 2027, and the award expected by 1st April 2027. The contract is planned to start on the 1st of September 2027 and conclude by 31st August 2030, with the possibility of extension.

This opportunity provides significant business growth potential for firms operating within the healthcare and related service sectors. Companies experienced in providing round-the-clock healthcare services, particularly in high-security or specialised environments like custody suites, will find this tender advantageous. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) also have a viable chance, as the procurement specifications indicate suitability for SMEs. Participation in the pre-tender Supplier Engagement Event offers businesses a strategic advantage in understanding the procurement's objectives and timelines. Engaging in this procurement can lead to long-term business stability through the extended contract period, up to a maximum of five years, if all renewal options are exercised.
