Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Suffolk Constabulary procured consultancy services for its JTP Improvement Programme. The requirement was to review the JTP programme and advise on its AI enablement and progression, falling within development consultancy services. The work is to be delivered in the East of England, for the constabulary based at Martlesham Heath, Ipswich. This is a professional services requirement focused on organisational and programme development, with a specific technology advisory element relating to artificial intelligence. The buying organisation is Suffolk Constabulary, which commissioned the work for its own programme. The selected supplier is a consultancy business, indicating that the requirement is suited to organisations providing structured review, advice and programme improvement support rather than supplying products, construction or operational services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to Larsen Consultancy. The awarded contract value is £13,500. The contract period runs from 30 July 2026 to 28 August 2026. Suffolk Constabulary used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement rather than running an open competition. The procurement was evaluated and concluded through that framework route, and the award is active. The tender had a submission deadline of 29 July 2026. The requirement was classified as services and was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. There were no lots identified, so the award relates to the JTP Improvement Programme requirement as a whole.

This award provides a clear reference point for consultancies working at the intersection of programme review, organisational improvement and artificial intelligence adoption. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Suffolk Constabulary would need to show that it can assess an existing programme, identify practical opportunities for AI enablement and advise on how the programme should progress. The work calls for advisory capability rather than a technology product alone, so relevant experience in structured consultancy, programme development and translating AI opportunities into an actionable improvement approach would be important. The procurement was made through a framework call-off, meaning suppliers seeking comparable work with this buyer should also understand and be able to use the relevant framework route.
