Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire, based in Preston, involves the replacement of two fingerprint lights for their Forensic Unit. This process, titled "Fingerprint Lights Replacement", falls under the clinical forensics equipment and supplies category. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract was awarded on 11th June 2026. With a project duration from 1st May 2026 to 30th April 2027, this limited competition method procurement was conducted below the threshold, signifying restricted access to the number of potential suppliers.

This tender presents opportunities particularly suited for businesses in the forensic equipment industry, especially those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), similar to the awarded supplier, Coppertree Forensics. The project offers a modest contract value of £16,200 after VAT, aligning well with companies looking to enhance their portfolio in supplying specialised forensic goods to public sector agencies. Engaging in such contracts can significantly boost business profiles by establishing connections with key government authorities like the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire and positioning the business for future procurement opportunities in the public sector.
