## Summary

The College of Policing Limited has completed a tender process for the purchase of the NEO PI-R personality measure, primarily used to support recruitment for specialist roles. This procurement falls under the assessment centre services for recruitment category and was classified as a direct procurement method through a single tender action below the threshold. The tender period concluded on 6th August 2021, while the awarded contract, valued at £38,900, is effective from 11th August 2021 to 10th August 2023. The delivery address for this contract is located in Coventry, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for growth particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide assessment and personality testing services. Businesses specialised in psychological assessment tools or recruitment processes may find this contract aligned with their offerings, especially those that can demonstrate competitive pricing and compliance with the requirements set by the College of Policing. Effective engagement with this tender could result in valuable partnerships in the recruitment domain.

## Notice

The Selection and Assessment department use NEO questionnaires to support the recruitment to support the Personality Assessment stage of the Assessment Process for specialist covert roles. An email is sent to candidates asking them to complete the personality questionnaire on-line and before we can do this we are required to have purchased credits already set-up on the test providers system. Using Hogrefe for the NEO personality measure enables us to send a link to the candidate and a 'technical' report of their results can be downloaded. This 'technical' report is the most basic and cheapest version of the results reports, in an effort to keep costs as low as possible. Hogrefe are the only UK licensed provider of the NEO personality measure and are the cheapest provider with only two potential resellers available (offering product at a higher price than Hogrefe).
