UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire procured a Trunarc drug analyser for use within West Division. This is a goods requirement for specialist drug-analysis equipment, classified under miscellaneous equipment (CPV 39300000). The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing in Lancashire. The equipment is intended for operational use in the West Division, with delivery identified in the UK. The requirement concerns a specific analyser rather than a broad technology, laboratory or consultancy service. Businesses operating in the supply of drug-testing, forensic, police or other specialist operational equipment are the closest fit, particularly those able to provide the specified Trunarc product or an equivalent procurement-compliant supply.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It was divided into one lot. HAZMATLINK LIMITED was awarded the contract. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 1 August 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The contract value is £28,584.07 excluding VAT, or £34,300.88 including VAT. The procurement was for goods and the contract is below the applicable threshold. The recorded process identifies the limited-competition route, but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings. The outcome therefore confirms a completed purchase rather than a current bidding opportunity.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear indication that Lancashire policing has a requirement for Trunarc drug-analysis equipment in its West Division. The relevant competitive profile is a business able to supply the named analyser accurately, meet public-sector purchasing requirements, and deliver specialist operational equipment within the buyer’s required timetable. Product knowledge, dependable fulfilment and the capacity to handle a focused, single-equipment requirement would be commercially relevant when demonstrating credibility. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of specialist goods purchase can be served by a smaller focused business rather than only by a large national contractor. Firms in forensic, drug-testing and police-equipment supply should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements.
