## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority - Greater Manchester Police has awarded a contract for the delivery of training for policing, covering key academic and support services in line with the Police Education Qualifications Framework (PEQF). This procurement, classified under the education and training services category, encompasses a total value of £64.2 million over a contract period running from 26th April 2021 to 25th April 2028. The training will be based in the North West of the United Kingdom and includes full-time and part-time options, with the procurement process following a competitive procedure akin to the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses in the education and training sectors, particularly those specialised in higher education and vocational training services. Companies that focus on policing training, staff training services, or vocational education will be well-suited to participate. The potential to expand the contract through additional pathways also presents further avenues for growth, particularly for organisations capable of delivering innovative training solutions and collaborations similar to the partnership formed between the University of Salford and the University of Central Lancashire.

## Notice

Delivery of training for policing and associated academic and support services, including initial police training defined by the College of Policing PEQF curriculum, i.e. the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) leading to a Graduate Diploma in Professional Policing Practice. The Contract also includes the provision of a part-time option for the above programmes, and a number of academic and training-related services to support the ongoing professionalisation of police training across the wider Force. The Contract may, in future, include education and assessment, for additional related pathways which are not (at the time of contract award) fully known and therefore are not fully detailed within the Contract. The service procured falls under the "light touch regime" set out in regulations 74-76 (inclusive) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. In awarding this contract, the Authority elected to follow a competitive procedure akin to the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation, but this is not to be taken as acceptance by the Authority that any part of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 apply, other than those parts which apply to the light touch regime.
