Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and Chief Constable for Merseyside bought organisational development support for the NWROCU Induction and Leadership Programme. This is a professional training and leadership-development service, covering the design and delivery of an induction programme and leadership programme rather than physical goods, construction or facilities. The buying organisation is based at Merseyside Police Headquarters in Liverpool. Delivery is associated with the United Kingdom, within the North West area. The requirement sits within the training services market and is relevant to providers of organisational development, management development, leadership training, induction design and related learning support for policing or other public-sector organisations.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award was made to Organisation Development Ltd, an SME, on 14 July 2026. The active contract was signed on the same date and runs from 14 July 2026 to 13 July 2027. Its value is £31,200 excluding VAT and £37,440 including VAT. There was one completed lot covering the full requirement. The award concerns training services, classified under CPV 80520000, training facilities. The published outcome records one active award and one active contract; the procurement was evaluated through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Merseyside policing for external organisational-development support combining induction with leadership development. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show practical capability in designing and delivering structured induction programmes, developing leaders and supporting organisational development in a demanding public-service environment. Relevant experience would include translating an organisation’s operational context into usable learning, leadership content and delivery arrangements, with the ability to work with senior stakeholders and programme participants. The award to an SME indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider rather than only a large training consultancy. Providers with policing, regional public-sector or similarly complex workforce-development experience would be well placed to assess their fit.
