## Summary

The Home Office has completed the procurement process for the "IASC modern slavery research project." This project, valued at £45,150, aims to research and understand the police response to modern slavery crime since the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015. The tender falls under the "Design and execution of research and development" industry category and covers multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, and Wales. The procurement method used was an open procedure with the tender period closing on 13th December 2024. The contract period is from 27th January 2025 to 31st March 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research and development, particularly those experienced in law enforcement studies and social sciences. SMEs and VCSEs are especially well-suited to contribute innovative research and insights that could influence policy and law enforcement practices. Leapwise Limited, a large organisation, has been awarded the contract, but similar future projects could benefit smaller firms aiming to expand their expertise and portfolio in public sector contracts.

## Notice

The Police response to modern slavery research project will seek to understand the police response to modern slavery crime since the introduction of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015. This will include how the police understand modern slavery crime, how this has changed over time, how the response intersects with adjacent crime types. A final report will make recommendations for law enforcement and government.
