Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority undertook a public procurement process for the "Provision of level 4 NVQ for Police Alcohol Licensing Officers." The initiative involves delivering specialised training as per National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) guidelines. The procurement falls under the industry category of higher education services, with a focus on adult and other education services. The contract was awarded directly to Police Crime Prevention Initiatives Ltd, a not-for-profit entity recognised by the NPCC. The contract period ran from 1st April 2025 to 31st July 2025, with a total gross value of £15,042. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold without competition, facilitated by the Greater Manchester Police's exemption process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in specialised education and training services, particularly those focused on law enforcement and public safety. Firms with expertise in delivering NPCC-recognised courses or continuing professional development (CPD) for police services may find similar opportunities beneficial for their growth. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and those involved in non-profit initiatives, especially within the UK’s public authority framework, are well-suited to compete in such niche education sectors. The awarded contract exemplifies how strategic partnerships with public authorities can enhance a company's credentials and open doors to future prospects in government contracting.
