Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire commissioned the Community Leaders Network and Community Leadership Programme. This is a service focused on establishing and supporting a network of community leaders and delivering a related leadership programme. The work is intended to serve communities across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is based in Leicester and is responsible for policing and crime matters in Leicestershire. The requirement is therefore relevant to organisations that design and deliver community leadership, engagement, development or network-building programmes across multiple English regions.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Jones Consulting Limited was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 29 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £28,000 excluding VAT (£33,600 including VAT). The award covers one lot and is classified as services. The recorded contract is active. The process shows that the commissioner used a below-threshold route without competition for this requirement, rather than seeking competing tenders, and that the selected supplier was appointed to deliver the complete Community Leaders Network and Community Leadership Programme.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies and specialist providers working in community leadership and public-sector engagement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to design and run a structured leadership programme, build and maintain a community leaders network, and work effectively with a public authority. Delivery across England indicates that providers should be able to coordinate activity across several regions, manage consistent programme standards and engage communities in different local contexts. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of service can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large national contractor. Relevant programme delivery and stakeholder-engagement experience would strengthen a competing proposition.
