## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside procured weapon storage to upgrade the storage capability for firearms held in evidential property stores. This is a goods requirement centred on storage units, for use across England. The work concerns secure, fit-for-purpose storage supporting the handling and retention of firearms as evidential property. It is relevant to manufacturers, suppliers and installers of weapon storage systems, firearms storage equipment and associated secure storage units. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and crime matters in Humberside. The requirement is focused on improving storage capacity and capability within evidential property facilities rather than providing general warehouse or office storage.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to LAMB ENGINEERING CO. LIMITED on 16 July 2026. The award value was £69,577.39 excluding VAT and £83,492.87 including VAT. The contract covers one lot and runs from 27 August 2026 to 27 August 2027. It used a below-threshold limited competition. Three bids were received, with all three reaching the final stage; all three final-stage bidders were SMEs and none were voluntary, community or social enterprises. The successful supplier is LAMB ENGINEERING CO. LIMITED. The award was recorded as active, and the tender status was complete. The stated requirement was evaluated through this limited competitive procedure.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist weapon storage supporting firearms held as evidence, with demand extending across England. A credible future competitor would need to supply storage units designed for secure firearms storage and understand the operational requirements of evidential property stores. Relevant capability includes designing or manufacturing robust weapon-storage solutions, upgrading existing storage capacity and delivering equipment suitable for controlled public-sector environments. The outcome also shows that an SME supplier competed successfully in a limited competition against two other final-stage bidders. Businesses with a focused weapon-storage offer, evidence of comparable secure-storage work and the capacity to serve policing or related public-sector facilities would be well placed when this requirement returns.
