## Summary

The College of Policing Limited has completed a procurement process titled "COP39_2023_Operation Soteria Pillar 3_VICTIMS," focusing on research services within the public safety sector, specifically targeting the investigation of rape and serious sexual offences. This procurement was handled through a Single Tender Action approved by the Home Office. The contract was awarded to the University Court of the University of Glasgow and runs from 5th September 2023 to 4th September 2024. The procurement process, classified under CPV code 73110000 (Research services), took place in Coventry, England, with deliverables aimed at developing and supporting Year 3 products for the National Operating Model (NOM) to ensure a victim-centred approach in investigations.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in legal research, forensic support, and procedural justice. Firms adept at creating tailored training materials for law enforcement, particularly in sensitive areas such as rape and sexual offences, will find this contract valuable for growth and reputation enhancement. Large enterprises with a background in public safety and institutional collaboration, like universities or dedicated research bodies, would be well-suited to compete in future opportunities of a similar nature.

## Notice

The requirement is to support police forces as they implement the National Operating Model for the investigation of rape and support those investigating rape and sexual offences to build strong and thorough cases which are suspect-focused, victim-centred and context-led. This includes developing, or supporting the Authority to develop, Year 3 products which may be incorporated into the National Operating Model for the investigation of rape and serious sexual offences, with a view to ensuring the Model can be sustained by policing, from entry to strategic management and leadership. Pillar 3 relates to work to ensure the NOM is victim-centered and underpinned by principles of procedural justice. The Supplier will develop products that support officers to take a context-led approach to investigating RASSO, working alongside Pillar 5. There are a number of deliverables required from the supplier for Pillar 3.
