Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham procured managed learning services to source and fulfil training requirements across its organisation. An external training provider is expected to work with the authority’s Learning and Development department, which will collate requirements annually. The service falls within education and training services and is intended to support the authority’s wider workforce training needs. Delivery is for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham, based at Police Headquarters in Durham. This is a service opportunity for providers able to manage a varied public-sector training requirement, coordinate closely with an internal learning and development function, and arrange or deliver training through an organised managed service rather than a single standalone course.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure, with the contract awarded under a framework and without a competitive call-off. QA LIMITED was awarded the contract on 29 July 2026 for £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 30 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The authority may exercise three optional 12-month extensions at its discretion, with the maximum contract end date being 31 March 2030. There was one completed lot. The contract is active and above the applicable threshold. The award covers the managed learning service and its associated education and training provision.

This award indicates established demand from Durham’s policing and public-sector organisation for an externally managed, coordinated training service. Competitors seeking similar work would need to demonstrate the capacity to handle training requirements across an entire authority, gather and organise demand on an annual cycle, and work as an effective extension of a Learning and Development department. A credible provider would also need breadth across education and training services, strong programme and supplier management, and the operational resilience to support requirements over a sustained, potentially multi-year relationship. The successful supplier profile is therefore a sizeable managed learning provider able to coordinate varied training activity, maintain reliable management information, and work within a framework-based procurement route.
