What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner (the PCC) is responsible for the totality of policing for Lincolnshire. The role of the PCC is to be the voice of the people and hold the police to account, effectively making the police answerable to the communities they serve. The PCC sets the police and crime objectives for their area through a police and crime plan, sets the force budget and determines the police council tax precept.

The police council tax precept is an essential part of the council tax that contributes alongside a central government grant to the total funding available to provide policing, community safety and victims' services. The PCC must make arrangements to obtain the views of ratepayers - and their representatives - on proposals for spending for the forthcoming financial year.

The consultation's aims are to produce qualitative and quantitative findings on the perceptions and experience of crime and safety from people living in Lincolnshire to support the annual Police budget setting process and to inform the development of the Commissioner's Police and Crime Plan. This will support one of the key principles of the Police and Crime Plan; 'Listening, responding and being accountable.
