About the buyer

Leicestershire Police is a blue light force that buys equipment and support services to keep Leicestershire policed and safe. A dedicated Finance, Procurement and Business Support team runs the force's tenders and contracts. High-value contracts go out through a formal tender process. Smaller, lower-value orders get quote support and guidance from the same team. The team also commissions on behalf of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and the East Midlands Special Operations Unit. Leicestershire Police also shares procurement frameworks, including one covering vehicle recycling and disposal, with Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire Police.

The top 10 blue light buyers spent a collective £2.2bn between FY2021 and FY2025.

Over the past 5 years, most of Leicestershire Police's contract awards have been in software and information systems, repair and maintenance and business services.
