## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service is conducting an open procurement process for the 'Provision of Level 7 Accreditation to the College of Policing's Direct Entry (Superintendent) Programme', an initiative aimed at improving talent management in policing, following recommendations from the Windsor review. The procurement is currently at the Award stage, with the initial tender period ending on 10th April 2015. The contract period is set to run from 18th May 2015 to 18th May 2017. This procurement falls under the education and training services category, covering a range of delivery addresses across the UK and overseas territories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational accreditation and training services, particularly those with experience in higher education and operational training within police services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the education sector should consider participating, as the procurement is suited to their capacities. The structured 18-month programme offers a potential avenue for service providers to expand their clientele and operational reach within the public safety sector.

## Notice

The Home Office commissioned the College of Policing to deliver the required outcomes of these new arrangements, one of which is the Direct Entry at Superintendent level. 1.2 The programme is a full-time assessed 18 month programme with a combination of College of Policing training modules and in-force operational rotations. 1.3 The purpose of this requirements is to identify a provider that is able to formally accredit the programme as a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education.
