UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales procured access to the College of Policing’s managed learning environment, College Learn. The service includes mandatory and recommended e-learning packages, professional development content and policing standards learning materials. This is a staff training and learning service for policing personnel, delivered across South Wales. The buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Wales, based in Bridgend. The selected provider is College of Policing Limited, a large organisation specialising in policing education and professional development. The requirement covers one service package rather than separate workstreams, focused on providing licensed access to an established digital learning environment and its associated training content.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. College of Policing Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed and began on 27 July 2026, and runs until 31 March 2030. Its value is £143,664 excluding VAT, or £172,396.80 including VAT. The award covers the complete College Learn licence requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, and the award remains active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with staff training services as its classification. No separate supplier awards are recorded.

This opportunity indicates sustained demand from South Wales policing for licensed access to specialist digital learning content rather than for one-off training delivery. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would need a managed learning environment capable of supporting mandatory and recommended e-learning, professional development and policing standards materials. Credibility would depend on the quality, relevance and maintenance of policing-focused content, as well as the ability to provide reliable user access across the South Wales policing area. Relevant organisations are likely to include specialist training providers, learning-platform operators and bodies with established policing education expertise. Experience supporting public-sector or police workforces, and the capacity to manage a substantial multi-year user licence, would strengthen a future proposition.
