UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex is procuring a Senior Leadership Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme for Essex Police. The requirement is for a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to design and deliver professional development for senior leaders. It is an education and training services opportunity, with delivery in Essex. The procurement is a service contract and is intended for organisations able to provide both programme design and delivery, rather than a simple supply of training materials. The requirement is presented as one package, covering the full CPD programme. Suppliers should consider whether their leadership development offer is suitable for a police environment and whether they can deliver the required activities in Essex.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 19 August 2026 at 12:00, and quotations by 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 14 September 2026 to 13 September 2027. Its estimated value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £60,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. The single lot is evaluated on quality weighted at 70% and price weighted at 30%, so the proposed approach and delivery quality carry greater weight than cost. Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises based in Essex. A supplier does not need to be exclusive to Essex.

This opportunity suits an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise with demonstrable experience designing and delivering continuing professional development for senior leaders. Relevant suppliers are likely to have established leadership development expertise, qualified facilitators and the capacity to plan and deliver a structured programme for a police organisation. The requirement favours businesses able to show a strong, credible delivery approach, since quality is the main evaluation consideration. Experience of public-sector, policing, emergency-services or similarly complex leadership environments would help a supplier demonstrate relevance, although the stated requirement is for qualified and experienced providers rather than a named accreditation. Organisations can compete without being exclusive to Essex, provided they are based in the county and can deliver locally.
