Procurement

How to do business with Humberside Police

Humberside Police is responsible for procuring the goods, services and works required to support policing across our force area. Our approach ensures the efficient and responsible use of public funds, delivering value for money while maintaining high standards of governance, transparency and accountability.

All procurement activity is undertaken in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and, where applicable during the transition period, the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. We are committed to operating fair, open and transparent processes that promote competition and enable equal access to opportunities for suppliers of all sizes.

Our sourcing activity incorporates consideration of economic, environmental and social value outcomes, supporting sustainable procurement and delivering wider community benefits in line with national legislation and policing best practice.

We undertake procurement activity across a broad range of categories, from lower value purchases to complex, high-value contracts. Where appropriate, we participate in collaborative arrangements with other public sector bodies to maximise value and market engagement.
