## Summary

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, acting on behalf of West Yorkshire Police, is overseeing a concluded procurement process for business consultancy services to address the backlog in crime finalisations. The contract awarded is titled "Crime Finalisations Backlog," falling under the business and management consultancy services category and valued at £89,520. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom, the project is scheduled to begin on 24th November 2025 and is expected to conclude by 30th January 2026. However, an extension up to 27th February 2026 is possible at the Authority's discretion. This procurement was executed through a selective method as a call-off from the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4), specifically under Lot 1, Business Consultancy.

This opportunity opens doors for small and medium-sized enterprises proficient in consultancy, particularly those specialising in managing operational surges and backlogs within law enforcement contexts. Given the nature of the requirements—a manager and investigative staff—it presents dramatic potential for businesses experienced in strategic and operational consulting. The awarded contract to Peel Recruitment & Training Solutions Ltd, a small enterprise, exemplifies that similar entities with a focus on consultancy services can develop their footprint in public sector projects, enhancing their business portfolio and sector reputation. This procurement process underscores the potential for robust collaboration between local authorities and agile consultancy businesses.

## Notice

West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) as the contracting authority for West Yorkshire Police (WYP) have engaged a Supplier to provide 1 x Manager and 6 x Investigative Staff to support a focused, time-bound intervention aimed at reducing a significant backlog of crime finalisations. West Yorkshire Police has experienced a period of high seasonal demand, which has placed considerable pressure on the Force Crime Management Unit (FCMU). In response, the FCMU pivoted its operational focus toward managing increased appointment volumes, which has inadvertently led to a growing backlog in crime finalisations. The procurement process was conducted via a Further Competition from the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4) Ref: RM6309 Lot 1 Business Consultancy. The Contract is anticipated to commence on 24th November 2025 and the work should be completed within a 10-week period (expiring 30th January 2026). There is provision to extend for a further period, or successive periods, up to 27th February 2026 (if required), at the sole discretion of the Authority.
