Summary of the contracting process

The Home Office bought specialist Post Incident Manager (PIM) training for police officers from the British Overseas Territories, as part of its Specialist Capability Programme. The service is intended to establish and develop PIM capability through accredited training aligned with recognised UK policing standards and adapted to the operational environment of the Territories. It calls for trainers who are recognised subject matter experts, with current operational credibility and experience in Post Incident Management. This is a specialist policing training service rather than general staff training. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; the course is specifically for officers from the British Overseas Territories.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to PFOA Training Services Limited. The Home Office used a direct award below the threshold, without competition. The award is for one lot; no evaluation criteria are stated. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026, with a contract period from 26 August 2026 to 30 November 2027 and an option to extend if required, up to 30 November 2029. The contract value is £72,000 excluding VAT (£86,400 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active.

For future requirements of this kind, credible suppliers will need to combine specialist policing training expertise with recognised subject matter experts who have current operational credibility and practical Post Incident Management experience. The training must be capable of accreditation against recognised UK policing standards and adapted to the operational circumstances of the British Overseas Territories. Suppliers should be able to deliver a focused capability-development course for police officers, not simply provide generic training materials or classroom instruction. The awarded contract demonstrates demand from the Home Office for a defined, specialist training service delivered through a direct, non-competitive route; a supplier’s evidence of relevant operational experience and ability to meet the accreditation and contextualisation requirements would be central to credibility.
