Procurement and our contracts

To ensures that procurement is fair and transparent, carried out consistently and in compliance with the Public Contract Regulations business opportunities for Humberside Police are advertised through the National BlueLight E‑Commercial Portal. 

Supplier Guidance 

Suppliers who have not already done so please register as a supplier on the following link: National BlueLight E‑Commercial Portal . The process is very straightforward, but if you need further advice or support in registering, please contact the Atamis helpdesk using the following details:

Telephone: 029 2280 9277 or via the Atamis Supplier Support Portal.

Suppliers will have the ability to use the search function to look for articles relevant to their issue/question. They can also submit a support request through the portal. The information in the articles is kept up to date.

Once suppliers have registered on the National BlueLight E‑Commercial Portal to access opportunities with one Police organisation, they will automatically have access to opportunities published by all forces using the system.

Please note: Suppliers may be asked if they wish to merge their account with an existing organisation. This is based on several criteria, including the domain name of your email address, so please ensure that you do register with your official work email address.
