UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "LEADERSHIP COMMISSION REVIEW INTO POLICE LEADERSHIP," was managed by the College of Policing Limited, a public authority under the central government of the United Kingdom. Located in Coventry, this procurement process was conducted in the services industry category. Initially, a tender was launched, and subsequently, an award was given to The Police Foundation for the provision of this review. The procurement employed a direct method, below threshold without competition, and was later cancelled on 23rd January 2026 due to changes in the scope. Prior to its cancellation, a contract was pending and scheduled for a signing milestone on 19th November 2025, with the contract period set from 22nd November 2025 to 31st May 2026.

This tender presented considerable opportunities for businesses in the research services sector by emphasising the need for in-depth analysis of police leadership within the UK. With a contract value reaching £60,000, this opportunity was well-suited for large-scale organisations, especially those with experience in conducting comprehensive reviews and analysis, such as The Police Foundation, a large-scale VCSE. The possibility for additional services and further competitive tenders also indicated potential future engagements and growth avenues for businesses capable of adapting to emerging needs intrinsic to the initial project scope.
