## Summary

The College of Policing Limited has completed a tender titled "Research into policing Ethics and the role of the College." This contract falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services and is located in Crook, England. The procurement process employed a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, with an award value of £69,473.68. The contract period began on 14th April 2022 and is set to conclude on 13th January 2023, with the tender having officially ended on 1st April 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the research and consultancy sectors, particularly those focused on ethics and policing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts in this field. Engaging in research and development initiatives, especially in emerging areas like policing ethics, can enhance the service offerings of such businesses, fostering growth and expansion in the public sector.

## Notice

The "ethics of policing" is still a relatively underdeveloped field by comparison with other professions. As such, there is an opportunity for the College to take a role leading, encouraging, coordinating and facilitating the development of the field of policing ethics. In short, there is the potential for the College to occupy a role developing a community of practice for policing ethics, much akin to how the professional bodies in healthcare work. This will be important in supporting the development of the new code of ethics, currently being progressed by the College. Following this work the College will decide on the role it will play in the "ethics of policing" and developing a community of practice.
