Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Lancashire Constabulary, based in Preston, seeking ICT and Data Protection Training Courses with a contract value of £160,000. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Training software package" and "Training services," and is targeted at delivery within the North West, United Kingdom. This procurement reached the award stage on 1st July 2025, with Softcat Plc being the supplier. The procurement method employed was a selective process, specifically a call-off from the Healthtrust Europe COMiT3 Framework, with the contract spanning from 1st August 2025 to 31st July 2029.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in providing ICT and training solutions, particularly those experienced with framework agreements. Companies with a substantial capacity to deliver services over a four-year period would find this opportunity beneficial for long-term business growth. However, the procurement approach suggests that smaller enterprises or those from the voluntary sector may find it unsuitable, given the procurement's scale and demands. Businesses well-versed in servicing public sector organisations will be well-positioned to extract the most benefit from participating in such tenders.
