Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire procured the Springboard Women’s Development Programme for Northamptonshire Police. This is a services contract focused on education and training, delivered across Northamptonshire. The programme is intended for women’s development within the police service, so relevant suppliers are those providing structured development, learning or training programmes for women in an organisational or public-sector setting. The buyer is a sub-central public authority responsible for policing and fire and rescue oversight in Northamptonshire. The requirement was treated as a single service lot and awarded as one package. The work is therefore centred on delivering a defined women’s development programme for Northamptonshire Police rather than supplying general training services across multiple unrelated subject areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. 2CFutures Ltd was selected for the single lot, with an awarded contract value of £45,000 gross. The award is active. The contract was signed on 25 June 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 12 July 2027. The buyer holds two optional 12-month extensions, allowing the maximum contract period to continue to 12 July 2029. The recorded procurement category is services, classified under education and training services. The contracting process was evaluated through a direct award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies 2CFutures Ltd as the appointed supplier.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to show a focused capability in women’s professional development and the delivery of structured education or training programmes. Experience working with police forces or comparable public-sector organisations would help demonstrate an understanding of formal operating environments, workforce development needs and public accountability. Suppliers should be able to deliver a complete programme rather than isolated training sessions, with the organisational capacity to support Northamptonshire Police across the service area. The award also shows that this buyer has used a direct, below-threshold route for a defined specialist service. Providers monitoring this buyer should therefore understand the requirement clearly, maintain evidence of relevant programme delivery, and be able to present a proportionate specialist offer when comparable work is considered.
