Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing Limited is overseeing a framework contract titled, "Framework for Research and Evaluation Partners," with the main objective of enhancing police productivity through various evaluative services. This extensive procurement initiative involves laying a foundation for research services in scoping, development, evaluation, technical expertise, and evidence searching, with a strong emphasis on policing and criminal justice to support the Government's Safer Streets mission. The contract is being executed through an open procurement method, encompassing multiple lots, with a planned contract period from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2030. Valued at a gross amount of £12,000,000, the framework is set to stay open for contributions until 30th August 2030. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage with continuous updates leading up to future phases like tenders and awards.

This framework presents significant growth potential for a variety of businesses, particularly those equipped with capabilities in research and development, data analysis, and consultancy services. Leveraging opportunities in lots ranging from small-scale evaluations to large-scale evidence synthesis, businesses focusing on data collection, economic appraisals, or behavioural science within public protection and crime reduction will find lucrative opportunities for collaboration. SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and VCSEs (voluntary, community and social enterprises) are particularly encouraged to participate, ensuring wider involvement and innovation within the policing and public safety sectors. This diverse engagement from businesses of varying sizes aims to foster a competitive environment that not only contributes innovative solutions but also enhances marketplace dynamism.
