UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales commissioned specialist Tactical Pursuit and Containment (TPAC) training for North Wales Police officers in the Roads Crime Unit. The requirement is police operational training focused on tactical vehicle pursuit and containment, rather than general driving instruction. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom for officers serving North Wales; the procurement identifies no more specific training venue. The buying organisation is the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Wales. Cheshire Constabulary was selected to provide the training, indicating that the requirement can be met through a police force with relevant training capability.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Cheshire Constabulary. The award is recorded as pending. The procedure was a direct award, justified on the basis that the services were additional to, or partly replacing, existing compatible provision. The gross awarded value is £165,459. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 October 2027, with provision for two further 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 30 October 2029. The award is dated 14 October 2026. There is one lot, covering the TPAC training service. The release does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers competing when this requirement next comes to market, relevant capability is specialist police training in tactical pursuit and containment, with the ability to train officers working in a Roads Crime Unit. The selected provider is a police force, so experience delivering operationally relevant training within a policing environment would be commercially pertinent. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver the required specialist instruction for North Wales Police officers and align its service with existing provision, since compatibility with current services formed the stated basis for the direct award. The buyer’s award demonstrates demand for a defined, specialist training service rather than a broad training programme. This is relevant to providers with established police training expertise and capacity to serve the North Wales requirement.
