## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire has concluded a procurement process for the purchase and conversion of vans for use by the Lincolnshire Police, under the CPV classification of vehicles for emergency services. This procurement, valued at £303,922.8, utilised a selective method through a direct award from the BLC Framework (BLC-Fleet-0020c). The award was published on 16 April 2026, following the completion of the tender period on 31 March 2026, indicating a swift transition from award to contract initiation on 13 April 2026. The vans will be delivered to Lincoln with postal code LN5 7PH.

The direct award to MAN Truck and Bus UK Ltd presents a significant opportunity for specialised vehicle suppliers, particularly those involved in the design and conversion of emergency service vehicles. As the procurement method was call-off from a framework agreement, businesses already connected to relevant frameworks stand the best chance of securing similar contracts. Given the large scale of the supplier, businesses aiming to grow in public sector procurements might leverage partnerships or sub-contracting opportunities for expertise in emergency vehicle conversions.
