Notice Title

Delivery of Training for Policing, including the Police Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF)

Notice Description

Delivery of training for policing and associated academic and support services, including initial police training defined by the College of Policing PEQF curriculum, i.e. the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) leading to a Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice. The Contract also includes the provision of a part-time option for the above programmes, and a number of academic and training-related services to support the ongoing professionalisation of police training across the wider Force. The Contract may, in future, include education and assessment, for additional related pathways which are not (at the time of contract award) fully known and therefore are not fully detailed within the Contract. The service procured falls under the "light touch regime" set out in regulations 74-76 (inclusive) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In awarding this contract, the Authority elected to follow a competitive procedure akin to the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation, but this is not to be taken as acceptance by the Authority that any part of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 apply, other than those parts which apply to the light touch regime.
