## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire commissioned public relations and media communications services. The work is intended to support the commissioner’s public-facing communications. The recorded delivery coverage spans areas across 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 complete and the contract has been awarded to BETTER TIMES LTD. The commissioner used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from that date to 31 July 2028. Its value is £59,345 excluding VAT (£71,214 including VAT). The process comprised one lot, covering the public relations and media communications requirement. The award is active and the contract is active.

This award shows that the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire buys public relations and media communications support, with delivery coverage across much of England. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to handle public-sector communications and media relations across a broad geographic footprint. The selected supplier is a small business, showing that this scale of requirement can be delivered by an SME. The purchase was made by direct award without competition, so this outcome does not provide evidence of a competitive evaluation or set out a winning technical approach. Suppliers assessing similar work for this buyer should focus on relevant communications capability and the capacity to support the stated coverage.
