## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire bought eight new intoxilyzer machines and ongoing servicing for alcohol breath-testing equipment. The requirement covers the supply of the machines and continuous servicing for the equipment in use by Lancashire Police. The work is associated with Lancashire, with the buying organisation based at Lancashire Police, Saunders Lane, Hutton, near Preston. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the equipment classified as drug detection apparatus. The selected supplier, Lion Laboratories Limited, is based in Barry and supplies specialist breath-testing equipment. The requirement combines an initial equipment purchase with continuing technical support, so it is relevant to manufacturers, specialist distributors and service providers able to maintain intoxilyzer equipment for a police customer. The arrangement relates to one completed lot.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective, below-threshold award under the BlueLight Commercial Alcohol Breath Testing Equipment framework, without a competitive call-off. Lion Laboratories Limited was awarded the contract on 3 July 2026. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and has a gross value of £91,631.04 (£76,359.20 excluding VAT). The contract period is 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2028, with an option for annual extensions up to 12 July 2030. The award records a service commencement date of 13 August 2026, while the signed contract records 13 July 2026 as its start date. The contract is active, and the tender status is complete. The award covers the single lot for the eight machines and servicing.

This award demonstrates a defined police-sector requirement for intoxilyzer equipment supported by continuing servicing, rather than a one-off supply of machines. Competitors targeting similar work would need to supply reliable alcohol breath-testing equipment and provide responsive, sustained servicing over a multi-year contract. Experience of working with public-sector or policing customers would help demonstrate an understanding of operational requirements, equipment availability and service continuity. The route used was a recognised BlueLight Commercial framework, so suppliers seeking comparable opportunities would need access to the relevant framework or an equivalent route accepted by the buyer. The successful supplier is an SME specialising in this equipment, showing that specialist businesses can meet the scale of the requirement without being a large general engineering contractor.
