Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex commissioned promotion-focused interventions delivered directly with five identified police forces. The service covers training for police officer leaders, convening a strategic programme board, stakeholder management and community engagement where required. It combines project management consultancy with staff training, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement is aimed at improving engagement between policing institutions and communities, including communities affected by disproportionality, exclusion and mistrust. The principal work is consultancy-led rather than the supply of physical goods or construction. A single lot covers the requirement, and the procurement indicates that it is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded by direct award to PI2 CONSULTING LTD. The stated rationale was the supplier’s existing knowledge and relationships, more than 20 years of specialist experience, a record of successful national initiatives, and established links across policing, criminal justice, government, academia and community organisations. The award was made on 6 August 2026 for £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. A separate recorded award and contract has a value of £0 and runs to 6 August 2027. The procedure was a direct award under a repeat, extension or partial replacement rationale.

This procurement shows demand from Sussex policing for specialist intervention, programme management and leadership training that can operate across multiple forces. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of delivering national or multi-organisation initiatives, managing strategic boards, coordinating stakeholders and engaging communities effectively. Trusted relationships across policing, criminal justice, government, academia and community organisations would be important, as would the ability to work with police officer leaders and translate institutional objectives into practical community engagement. Experience of addressing disproportionality, exclusion and mistrust, particularly through credible relationships with Black communities, would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is consultancy-led and suitable for an SME, but expects an individual or team with substantial specialist expertise and established credibility.
