## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire procured services for a Force Medical Officer. The requirement is a professional medical officer service supporting police-force operations. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, based in Leicester. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The procurement is classified as services, with the activity also described under CPV 98390000, other services. It was a single requirement, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The successful supplier is Purosearch Limited, a small or medium-sized UK company, although the opportunity itself is no longer at the bidding stage.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award for continuation of services. The award date was 11 August 2026, with Purosearch Limited selected as supplier. The awarded value is £344,425.46 excluding VAT, or £413,310.55 including VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2027, with a scheduled signature milestone by 25 August 2026. The buyer has a right to renew the arrangement once for a further 12 months, potentially extending the contract to 25 August 2028. The award is above the applicable threshold. The process covered one lot and used continuation of services as the rationale for the direct award; no separate competitive evaluation criteria are recorded.

For a future procurement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to provide a Force Medical Officer service capable of supporting a police organisation across a broad England-wide operating area. The requirement indicates demand for specialist medical capacity that can work in a public-sector and policing environment, rather than a general healthcare supply alone. Relevant businesses are likely to be those with access to suitably qualified medical professionals, robust clinical governance, dependable workforce planning and the ability to maintain service continuity over a substantial contract period. Experience of delivering professional services to police forces or other public authorities would help demonstrate understanding of operational, confidentiality and safeguarding requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement.
