Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Police has recently concluded a public procurement process for an "OTF Design Team" aimed at establishing a self-contained Operational Training Facility in the North East of England. This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focused on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. Commencing with the tender process, which ended on 10th June 2025, the procurement followed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £1,121,182, was awarded on 21st August 2025 to AtkinsRealis PPS Limited, with the service delivery period spanning from 1st August 2025 to 31st March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural and engineering sectors, particularly those with the capability to lead comprehensive design projects. SMEs that specialise in design and engineering may find this type of contract beneficial for growth, as the procurement framework allows smaller entities to compete alongside larger firms. Engaging with such public sector contracts can offer long-term growth prospects, reinforce a company's portfolio, and foster partnerships within public service markets. Businesses with a focus on fulfilling current and future operational facility requirements would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities.
