The tender, titled "Cyber services training", focuses on procuring a training provider to develop and deliver material for the policing industry. This contract, classified under the services category with an emphasis on education and training services, has been awarded following a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold nature. The contract spans several regions in the UK, from the North East to South West. It commenced on 28 January 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 31 March 2026, with potential renewal for another 12 months.
