This tender requires suppliers to provide assessments and supporting materials in both Welsh and English, as mandated by the Welsh Language Act. The procurement process is at the Tender stage and includes critical dates: the publication date on 4th November 2024, the tender period ending on 2nd December 2024 at 12:00 PM, and the contract period starting from 1st January 2025 until 31st December 2026. The services are to be delivered in Wales, United Kingdom, and the assessment materials must adhere to the educational requirements specified for police officer and PCSO recruitment. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in developing educational and assessment materials, particularly those with experience in bilingual educational content. Companies specialising in recruitment assessment services will find this contract particularly suited to their capabilities. As this is an open procedure, it is accessible to all qualified suppliers, encouraging competition and innovation. Although the procurement is not specifically geared towards SMEs or VCSEs, well-established entities with the requisite qualifications, and capabilities will likely find this contract beneficial for expanding their service offerings and customer base, particularly within the public sector. ## Notice Police Regulations set out the list of qualifications required to commence as a Police Officer. When Oleeo was implemented, agreement was made with the Higher Education Institutes that partner with the Welsh Forces, the numerical calculation test could be viewed as equivalent to the Level 3 requirements. This test had two elements Verbal Reasoning and Calculation (maths). It is a key requirement of the supplier to provide the tests and supporting materials in both Welsh and English to comply with the Welsh Language Act. Level 3 is the level of attainment (in terms of breadth and depth) which, in the opinion of the Secretary of State, is demonstrated by the General Certificate of Education at the advanced level in two subjects. The verbal reasoning and numerical calculation tests are currently also used for PCSO recruitment; albeit at a level adjusted to a level 2 qualification in Maths & English. Mae Rheoliadau'r Heddlu yn gosod y rhestr cymwysterau sydd eu hangen er mwyn dechrau fel Swyddog Heddlu. Pan weithredwyd Oleeo, cytunwyd hefo'r Sefydliadau Addysg Uwch sydd mewn partneriaeth hefo Heddluoedd Cymru, y gellid ystyried bod y prawf cyfrifo rhifiadol yn cyfateb i ofynion Lefel 3. Roedd gan y prawf hwn ddwy elfen sef Rhesymu Llafar a Chyfrifo (mathemateg). Mae'n ofyniad allweddol i'r cyflenwr ddarparu'r profion a'r deunyddiau ategol yn y Gymraeg a'r Saesneg er mwyn cydymffurfio a Deddf y Gymraeg. Lefel 3 yw lefel cyrhaeddiad (o ran ehangder a dyfnder) sydd, ym marn yr Ysgrifennydd Gwladol, yn cael ei harddangos gan y Dystysgrif Addysg Gyffredinol ar y lefel uwch mewn dau bwnc. Mae'r profion rhesymu llafar a chyfrifo rhifiadol hefyd yn cael eu defnyddio ar gyfer recriwtio SCCH ar hyn o bryd, er ar lefel wedi'i haddasu i gymhwyster lefel 2 mewn Mathemateg a Saesneg. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e8227c1-fbc5-42b1-b7f6-4d1c27cba784 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 2 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2025 - 31 Dec 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR NORTH WALES POLICE & NORTH WALES POLICE | | Locality | COLWYN BAY, NORTH WALES | | Post town | Llandudno | | Postcode | LL29 8AW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL3 North Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL33 Conwy and Denbighshire | | Local authority | Conwy | | Electoral ward | Glyn | | Westminster constituency | Clwyd North | | Delivery location | TLL Wales | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79635000 - Assessment centre services for recruitment ## Release History - 4 Nov 2024 at 10:52 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e8227c1-fbc5-42b1-b7f6-4d1c27cba784 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4e8227c1-fbc5-42b1-b7f6-4d1c27cba784 4th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=86831&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/33183 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://www.north-wales.police.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
