Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire has procured a College Learn licence, a digital learning service supplied by the College of Policing Limited. The requirement is for access to the College’s learning platform rather than physical goods or building work. Delivery covers England, with the listed delivery areas spanning the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The service is intended for the police commissioner’s learning needs; the procurement description identifies the licence but does not set out individual courses, user numbers or platform functionality. The College of Policing Limited is the selected supplier.

The procurement is complete and the award is active. The commissioner made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. The contract was awarded to College of Policing Limited for £92,090.73 excluding VAT (£110,508.88 including VAT). The recorded award date is 24 September 2026. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2029, with signature scheduled for 12 October 2026. The purchase is categorised as a service. The published process data does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements; this was a non-competitive award rather than an evaluated competition.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire, this award demonstrates demand for a College Learn licence covering a broad, England-wide footprint. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable digital learning licence and support access across the relevant police organisation and delivery areas. The selected provider is the College of Policing Limited, a large supplier, indicating that the buyer has sourced the service directly from the organisation behind the College Learn offer. The procurement used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so it does not reveal scored criteria or specific capability thresholds against which other providers were tested. Suppliers assessing similar work should focus on the fit and reach of their learning platform for policing needs.
