Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk bought specialist training services in forensic analysis. The requirement is for training that develops or supports forensic analysis capability; no more detailed curriculum, delivery format or intended audience is described. The service is categorised as specialist training. The named buyer is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk, based in Wymondham, and delivery is recorded as being in the United Kingdom. This is a single-lot services requirement, rather than a supply of equipment or a works contract. The procurement gives businesses in forensic training and related specialist learning a clear indication of the buyer’s requirement, while the limited description means that the specific forensic disciplines and training volumes cannot be inferred.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Technical Solutions Group Limited. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, and the published information does not describe a separate scoring model or evaluation criteria. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026, with an award recorded as active. Its contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The contract value is £12,636 including VAT. This is the stated contract value for the single award; it should not be treated as a measure of any wider or continuing requirement. The supplier is Technical Solutions Group Limited, a Hereford-based small or medium-sized enterprise.

For a supplier considering future forensic analysis training work with this buyer, the award demonstrates demand for specialist training delivered through a limited competition, at modest scale and on a short contract. A credible competitor would need demonstrable expertise in forensic analysis and the ability to design and deliver focused specialist training. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this single-lot requirement was within the reach of a smaller business; the data does not establish any required accreditation, particular forensic discipline, delivery method, staffing level or prior experience threshold. Businesses with relevant training capability may find the requirement commercially relevant, but should assess fit against the specific forensic subject matter and delivery expectations when they are established for a future requirement.
