Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing Limited, based in Coventry, United Kingdom, is initiating a procurement process to develop a national Lessons Learned database. This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to explore market capabilities and potential solutions for a database system designed to capture and share lessons from investigations into deaths or serious injury following police contact. The process is currently in the planning stage. Suppliers are invited to participate in this engagement process, with a milestone due date scheduled for 17th March 2026. The procurement mainly falls under the services category, and the development phase for selected suppliers is expected to commence on 30th June 2026 and conclude by 29th June 2029. Key classifications in this tender include database and IT software packages.

This tender presents significant business opportunities particularly for suppliers specialising in database solutions, IT software services, and AI tool development. Companies adept at integrating secure databases with public-facing websites or offering capabilities in automated data ingestion and multimedia software services will find this tender a strategic opportunity to showcase their expertise. Furthermore, the procurement process is open to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), making it accessible to a diverse range of suppliers looking to contribute their innovative solutions and thus expand their business footprint within the public sector.

Notice Title

Provision of Database for Deaths and Serious Injury

Notice Description

The College of Policing is seeking information from suppliers to better understand the market capabilities and potential solutions for developing a national Lessons Learned database. This initiative follows the government's announcement in October 2024 that the College will create a system to capture, integrate and share learning arising from investigations into deaths or serious injury (DSI) following police contact or pursuits. Through this RFI, the College aims to explore secure database solutions that integrate with public-facing websites. We are also seeking to understand suppliers' capabilities in evaluating and developing AI tools and models for two purposes: first, to generate accurate Incident Learning Summaries (ILS) that describe official reports into death and serious injury cases; and second, to support automated data ingestion that enables resources on specific websites (such as coroners reports) to be scraped, relevant data to be transformed, validated and imported automatically into the database, reducing the need for manual entry. These requirements are detailed further below. This RFI is an information gathering exercise, not a formal tender. Supplier responses will help refine the College's requirements and procurement approach for a future tender.
