About the buyer

Lancashire Constabulary is a blue light police force that buys through a Procurement team inside its Finance and Procurement department. Tenders are advertised on the Bluelight e-tendering portal, where suppliers register free to download documents. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire issues tenders on behalf of the Constabulary. Both bodies buy under a Joint Procurement Strategy that promotes the local economy where practicable. A Social Value Policy covers the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Constabulary alike. Awarded contracts and invitations to tender are published on the Blue Light Procurement Database and in the Commissioner's contracts register.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of Lancashire Constabulary's contract awards have been in software and information systems, transport equipment and security and defence equipment.
