About the buyer

North Yorkshire Police is a territorial force procuring as a blue light buyer across North Yorkshire. Larger tenders and contracts are advertised through the Bluelight Procurement Database, a shared hub for emergency services procurement across the UK. The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner's office publishes and oversees these tender opportunities. National-level contracts also appear on Find a Tender, the government's procurement service. The force shares a regional procurement function with Humberside, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire Police, under a Functional Collaboration Agreement. South Yorkshire Police leads that regional function on behalf of all four forces.

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

Over the past 5 years, most of North Yorkshire Police's contract awards have been in IT services, construction work and construction materials.
