UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The College of Policing is exploring a future commercial arrangement for specialist policing education, training, consultancy and capability development services. The work would support delivery across the United Kingdom and internationally, so it may suit providers able to operate nationally and overseas. The scope covers personnel training, staff development and wider education and training services. It is a services procurement intended to help develop policing capability, combining specialist learning provision with consultancy and related support. The buyer is College of Policing Limited, a public authority based in Coventry. The planned arrangement relates to one service requirement rather than separate identified work packages, with delivery expected across the UK and beyond.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the College of Policing has set out an intention to procure but has not invited tenders. It is exploring options for a future commercial arrangement and expects to undertake preliminary market engagement, with high-level engagement details available through the buyer’s procurement system. The engagement is scheduled for 28 August 2026. The expected contract period is 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2028. The estimated gross value is £1.5 million. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and is expected to use a tender process, with the procedure and final commercial arrangements still under development. The requirement is currently planned as a single lot.

This work is likely to suit organisations with established expertise in specialist policing education, professional training, staff development, consultancy and capability development. Relevant suppliers will be those able to design and deliver learning and development services for policing audiences, support organisational capability, and provide expert advice alongside training. The international element means providers with the reach, partnerships or operational experience to work outside the UK may be well placed. National delivery capability across the United Kingdom is also relevant. The market engagement is an opportunity for training providers, specialist consultancies, education organisations and collaborative supplier teams to help shape the future arrangement before it reaches the tendering stage. The buyer is exploring options, so suppliers should be ready to explain their delivery models and specialist policing experience.
