Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire procured the supply and installation of an Airwave booster at a local police station. This is telecommunications equipment and installation work intended to improve or provide Airwave radio coverage for police operations. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, England. The requirement is categorised as goods, with the service element involving installation at the station. Businesses relevant to this type of work include suppliers of Airwave or other public-safety communications equipment, radio coverage infrastructure, booster systems and associated installation services. The buyer is the policing authority for Lincolnshire, so the requirement is specifically connected to operational police premises rather than a general commercial communications installation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold procedure described as “unknown”. It was divided into one lot. Motorola Solutions UK Limited was awarded the contract. The award is active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 14 September 2026 to 14 October 2026. Its gross value is £34,902.24. The contract is below the relevant threshold. The published information identifies the purchase as telecommunications equipment and supplies, covering the Airwave booster and its installation. The award records one supplier and one requirement; no separate award values are given. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire.

This procurement provides a clear example of Lincolnshire policing demand for targeted radio-communications infrastructure at local police stations. A credible future competitor would need to supply an Airwave booster and carry out its installation, with an understanding of the operational requirements of police premises. Relevant businesses are likely to include specialist public-safety communications providers, telecommunications equipment manufacturers, authorised equipment distributors and installation contractors able to deliver the equipment and on-site works as a single requirement. The award to Motorola Solutions UK Limited indicates that an established communications supplier was able to meet the buyer’s need. Firms building capability in Airwave coverage solutions, equipment supply and installation can use this requirement to assess their fit for comparable work for the same policing authority.
