The procurement was conducted through a selective method via a further competition under the YPO Framework 1086 for Apprenticeships and Associated Training. The contract period starts on 1st April 2025, and the initial term is three years with an option to extend for an additional two years.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in higher education services, particularly those that offer specialised training or apprenticeship programmes. The contract is structured to support the development of new police constables, which presents a stable and potentially profitable engagement for educational institutions. While large-scale entities like universities may find this opportunity well-suited to their capabilities, smaller specialised training providers may also find sub-contracting opportunities within the project viable. Businesses capable of handling selective procurement processes will be best positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
