## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire sought a recruitment agency to source permanent candidates for roles requiring specialist skills, including specialist crime, digital technology, data and performance. The service was intended to support recruitment across these areas for the police and crime commissioner. Delivery was specified for the United Kingdom.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under the ESPO Framework 3S-26, restricted to suppliers registered for the required framework lots. The procurement was subsequently withdrawn because the provision was no longer required. The stated contract period was 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The estimated value was £100,000 excluding VAT (£120,000 including VAT). The submission deadline set was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Bidders had to be registered on the framework for lots 2a, 2b, 2c, 2e, 2f and 4, and have the facility to cover all of them.

This requirement was suited to recruitment agencies with access to permanent candidates in specialist crime, digital technology, and data and performance roles. Suppliers needed to be registered on the specified ESPO framework lots and capable of covering all six required lots; a supplier able to cover only some of them would not meet the stated eligibility condition. The work called for specialist recruitment reach rather than general temporary staffing, with the ability to identify candidates across several distinct professional areas for a public-sector police organisation. The procurement has been withdrawn, so it is no longer an opportunity to pursue.
