Summary of the contracting process

The Police Digital Service procured a mentoring programme consultancy as a human resources management consultancy service (CPV 79414000). The requirement is for specialist mentoring support, delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a service procurement for a public sector digital service organisation, with the work intended to support a defined mentoring programme rather than the supply of goods, construction or general business consultancy. The buying organisation is the Police Digital Service, based in London. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist providers delivering structured mentoring programmes, particularly those able to support public sector or organisational change environments. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger providers with mentoring capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a limited competitive quotation procedure for a below-threshold contract. Bids were due by 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 28 August 2026 to The Executive Change Partnership Ltd for £18,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2026. The award was made on the basis of the competitive quotation process; the published information identifies the requirement as a mentoring programme consultancy service. There were no stated lots, so the requirement was treated as a single procurement. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The contract is for services delivered in the United Kingdom and the procurement status is complete.

This award demonstrates a short, focused requirement for mentoring programme consultancy within the Police Digital Service, at a scale accessible to specialist providers and smaller consultancies. A credible future supplier would need to design or deliver structured mentoring support, understand how mentoring operates within an organisational setting, and provide consultancy input that can be delivered over a defined implementation period. The buyer’s use of a competitive quotation route below the threshold indicates a relatively proportionate purchasing process for this type and scale of service. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that a smaller consultancy can be considered suitable for the requirement. Relevant evidence would include practical mentoring programme delivery, consultancy capability, clear service planning and the capacity to support a public sector client.
