Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands bought 48 training pass credits, categorised as training services. The credits were for use by the police organisation; no further detail is provided about course subjects, training format or intended participants. The procurement was for service delivery in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Birmingham. This is a defined purchase of training access rather than a broader training programme or a specified package of bespoke course delivery.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The buyer selected CONTROL-F LTD through a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. The contract was signed on 3 February 2026 and runs from 4 February to 4 May 2026. Its stated value is £29,760 excluding VAT and £35,712 including VAT. The award is for one lot covering all 48 training pass credits; the recorded award is to CONTROL-F LTD. No separate award date is provided. The procurement data gives no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This purchase shows demand from the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands for a defined volume of training pass credits. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to supply or arrange training access at that scale and provide a service suitable for a police organisation. The contract was awarded directly without competition, so suppliers should note that this instance did not involve a competitive evaluation. The published description does not identify training subjects, delivery format, accreditation requirements or participant numbers; those details should not be assumed when assessing whether a future requirement matches a supplier’s offer.
