## Summary

The College of Policing, part of the Home Office, has completed a procurement process for an independent evaluation of the Return to Investigative Practice (RTIP) Returners project. This tender, classified under social research services, was awarded for a total value of £49,000. The contract period spans from 13th August 2019 to 30th September 2020, with the tender period having ended on 15th July 2019. This project primarily targets delivery across various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom.

The insights gained from such evaluations could enhance service delivery and strategic investment for organisations involved in similar contracts.
