Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing Limited is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Request for Information Beyond 360." This tender seeks to identify Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) solutions to replace its existing platform that supports staff development through a 360-degree feedback system. The engagement for suppliers will close on 29th October 2021, and the procurement process focuses on the software package and information systems sector. The service will be delivered primarily across England and Wales.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses focused on developing modern, user-friendly digital solutions tailored to the public sector, particularly in feedback and assessment services. Companies that specialise in software development, particularly those providing COTS solutions with mobile and tablet compatibility, could find this tender especially relevant. The College aims to enhance its digital offerings to the police service with increased customer satisfaction, making this an attractive opportunity for suppliers who can deliver innovative and accessible platforms.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Request for Information Beyond 360

Notice Description

The College provides an online platform called the Beyond 360deg feedback system that provides the Police Service with an effective, efficient way to support staff development. 360deg feedback is a multi-source, multi-level indication of how the individual is perceived by the people they work with. Beyond 360deg enables an individual to receive feedback from multiple people at multiple levels in a secure and efficient way. It helps to identify areas of strength and areas for development, from an individual level to an organisational level. It offers a wide range of functions that help users to increase their self-awareness and support their ongoing development. We are seeking to replace the current platform with a more modern solution that provides greater flexibility and a better user experience going forward. We have a couple options: either build on what we currently have using our in-house development team or look to procure a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) solution. This RFI exercise is seeking to establish what COTS solutions are available in the market and whether they would meet our requirements. Any COTS solution must ensure that our customer base can access the system on any medium including mobiles and tablets. The requirement for these changes are driven by customer feedback and a need to significantly improve the now outdated design of the current system. The new platform will need to ensure the system aligns to the new College branding so that it is more in-keeping with other College systems like the College website and College Learn platform. The College is committed to transforming its digital offering to support Policing. The platform will also need to meet necessary accessibility and security requirements. The platform will be used to continue to deliver feedback assessments to policing. As we already have a strong customer base (currently 28 Home Office forces are using the system), addressing our customers' requests and feedback, will greatly assist in retaining and adding to this strong customer base. Additional information: Please note that this is a Request for Information exercise and not a formal competition. The College of Policing is seeking information to identify the suppliers in the market who may be able to meet our requirements. Through this process, we are aiming to also aid the development of our specification and identify what the most appropriate route to market is for a future procurement exercise.
