Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor's Office for Policing & Crime is commissioning specialist online harms training under workstream two of its Digital Safety Programme. The provider will design and deliver practical, scenario-based training for trusted adults and tertiary practitioners working in the tertiary education space. The curriculum must be tailored to this audience, adaptable over time and regularly updated using practitioner feedback and young people’s lived experience, including insights from the programme’s first workstream. This is a specialist training service (CPV 80510000) delivered in London. The requirement is for a single service covering the full programme, rather than separate packages for different training activities or locations.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. The enquiry deadline was 5 August 2026 at 17:00, and the offer deadline is 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028, with an optional 12-month extension at the authority’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. Its estimated value is £850,000 excluding VAT (£1,020,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is based entirely on quality, weighted at 100%. The contract is above the applicable threshold and uses the light-touch regime.

This opportunity suits training providers with strong expertise in online harms, digital safety and safeguarding, particularly those able to work with trusted adults and tertiary practitioners. Bidders should be capable of designing specialist learning that is practical, scenario-based and relevant to real professional settings, then delivering it consistently across the programme. The requirement also favours providers with the research and engagement skills to incorporate practitioner feedback and young people’s lived experience into course development. A successful supplier will need the capacity to maintain and adapt the curriculum throughout delivery, responding to changing online risks and emerging evidence. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it relevant to specialist organisations as well as larger training businesses.
