UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire bought strategic consultancy support to help address recommendations arising from the HMICFRS Engage findings, Phase 2. The work covers business and management consultancy and related business services, including strategic advice and support for implementing organisational recommendations. It is a professional services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The contracting authority is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, based in Lincoln, and delivery is in Lincolnshire. The requirement was treated as a single package and is relevant to consultancies that support public-sector organisations with strategic improvement, recommendation delivery, organisational change or related business management activity. Its focus on policing findings makes familiarity with public-sector governance and operational improvement particularly relevant.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. The contract was placed directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. NXN ADVISORY LTD was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026, runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 December 2026, and is valued at £79,900. The contract is active. The evaluation route was therefore a direct award rather than a competitive assessment of competing tenders. The requirement was handled as one lot, which is complete, and the award relates to that whole requirement. The service category is consultancy, covering business and management consultancy and miscellaneous business-related services. The procurement was below the applicable threshold. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

For a consultancy assessing future work with this buyer, the award shows demand for a focused strategic advisory assignment tied to HMICFRS Engage findings and the delivery of recommendations. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate the ability to analyse inspection or review findings, turn recommendations into practical improvement activity, and provide senior-level business or management advice within a policing or wider public-sector environment. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can undertake work of this type. Relevant capability is likely to include structured programme support, stakeholder engagement, governance, progress monitoring and clear advice to a public authority. Firms with demonstrable experience translating external findings into organisational change would be well placed when comparable requirements arise.
