UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Lancashire has procured education and training services from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). The requirement is to continue using CMI as the provider for the NPPF qualification and to provide Level 4 and Level 5 police qualifications for 2027. The work supports police professional development and qualification delivery rather than general training provision. Delivery covers Lancashire Police’s requirements, with the award recorded for the United Kingdom. The procurement is a single service requirement, bought by a sub-central public authority. It is relevant to organisations that provide regulated or specialist management education, professional qualifications, and training tailored to policing or other public-sector workforce requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to the Chartered Management Institute. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The award date is not recorded separately; the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 24 April 2028, with annual renewal available if required and a maximum end date of 23 April 2031. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT, or £58,750 including VAT. The stated requirement includes an agreement from 24 April 2027 to 23 April 2028, with the option of three further annual extensions. The award covers the full single lot. The published information does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates demand from Lancashire’s policing organisation for a specialist qualification provider able to deliver the NPPF qualification alongside Level 4 and Level 5 police qualifications. A credible future competitor would need recognised expertise in management education, structured qualification delivery, and the ability to tailor learning and assessment to police roles and professional standards. It would also need sufficient teaching, administration and quality-assurance capacity to support an organisational programme rather than isolated learners. Experience working with public-sector or policing customers would help demonstrate understanding of operational constraints, learner progression and compliance requirements. The requirement suits established training providers, professional institutes and education partnerships able to maintain consistent provision across multiple qualification levels and support continuity over a multi-year arrangement.
