## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire bought intoxication testing machines for Lincolnshire Police, together with their maintenance. The requirement combines equipment supply with ongoing servicing and support, rather than a one-off purchase of devices. The machines are used for testing and measurement. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, and the buying organisation is based in Lincoln. The contract also allows additional goods and services to be ordered during its lifetime. This is a single-lot requirement, awarded to one supplier. The procurement therefore concerns suppliers able to provide suitable intoxication testing equipment and maintain it for a police force, with delivery and servicing focused on Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Lion Laboratories Limited, a Barry-based supplier. The award was made on 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on 24 September 2026. Its stated value is £212,348.40 including VAT. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031, with two possible 24-month extensions and one possible 12-month extension, potentially taking the total term to ten years. Additional goods and services may also be ordered during the contract. The supplier was selected through a selective procedure under a framework agreement. The procurement covered one lot; the published data does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows that Lincolnshire Police buys intoxication testing machines alongside long-term maintenance, and uses a framework route for the requirement. A credible competitor would need to supply appropriate testing and measuring equipment and provide dependable servicing over an extended contract, with the capacity to handle additional equipment or services as required. The agreed service standards indicate that devices must be serviced within five business days of receipt, service reports supplied within five business days after servicing, and resolutions achieved within seven working days. Suppliers should therefore be able to manage equipment returns, meet short turnaround targets and provide timely service reporting and issue resolution. Lion Laboratories Limited, a specialist equipment supplier, was selected for this combined supply-and-support requirement.
