UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire is seeking one supplier to provide healthcare and forensic services across all custody suites operated by Lincolnshire Police. The service combines healthcare for people held in custody with forensic work, and includes access to nursing and medical personnel. It is a county-wide service requirement rather than a purchase for a single custody location. The procurement is for services and is intended to bring the healthcare and forensic provision across the force’s custody estate under one supplier. Suppliers should consider whether they can deliver both elements across all custody suites and work with a police force in a custody setting.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. The process has three stages: assessment of participation questionnaire responses and shortlisting, financial assessment and further shortlisting, then evaluation of tender responses and presentations. The expression-of-interest deadline was 30 November 2026 at 12 noon. The planned contract period is 1 September 2027 to 31 August 2037, with the award decision due by 24 March 2027. The estimated value is £14 million excluding VAT (£16.8 million including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation weights are quality 50%, price 30%, social value 10% and presentation 10%.

This opportunity suits a supplier able to provide a coordinated healthcare and forensic service throughout Lincolnshire Police’s custody estate, with capacity to cover all custody suites under a single contract. Relevant capabilities include delivery of healthcare in custody and access to suitably experienced nursing and medical personnel, alongside forensic services. The scale and duration favour organisations able to sustain a reliable, county-wide operation over the long term. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, so specialist providers may find the requirement relevant if they can meet the full service scope, either independently or through an appropriate delivery model. Quality is the largest part of the evaluation, with separate consideration of price, social value and a presentation.
