Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside procured an engagement and target-hardening service. The work covers security and surveillance systems and devices, individual equipment, and locksmith services, intended to support target hardening through engagement with the local community. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a service provider that understands Humberside’s local demographic and geography, rather than a supplier providing equipment or locksmith work in isolation. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Cottingham. This opportunity is relevant to organisations combining community engagement with practical crime-prevention, security, property-protection or locksmith capabilities, particularly those able to operate across the geography served by the Humberside Police and Crime Commissioner.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. One lot was evaluated on price at 30%, quality at 60% and social value at 10%. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 12:00, following an enquiry deadline of 2 July 2026 at 12:00. Three bids were received, including three from SMEs and one from a VCSE. PROBE (HULL) LIMITED was awarded the contract on 24 July 2026 for £200,000 net (£240,000 gross), and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026. It runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028. The contract is active. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, with electronic submission not permitted.

This award indicates demand for a combined engagement and target-hardening service from a policing and crime-prevention buyer. A credible future competitor would need relevant experience delivering comparable services, a strong understanding of local demographics and geography, and the ability to translate engagement activity into practical protective measures. Useful operational capability includes supplying or managing surveillance and security devices, individual security equipment and locksmith services. Suppliers should also be able to evidence service quality clearly, since quality carried twice the weighting of price, while demonstrating measurable social value. Organisations with community-facing delivery experience may be well placed, including SMEs and VCSEs. The winning supplier’s profile shows that a substantial established organisation can deliver this blend of community, security and property-protection activity.
