## Summary

The College of Policing Limited, located in Coventry, England, has awarded a contract for the horizon scanning exercise to assess future trends and challenges in Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The contract, under the CPV classification "Research services," was part of a tender process initiated as a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement method was selective, ensuring targeted supplier participation. The contract, valued at £49,624.43, commenced on 28th January 2026 and will conclude by the end of March 2026. The contract has been awarded to Bloom Procurement Services Ltd on 19th January 2026, with Crest Advisory (UK) Ltd as the SDS provider.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in comprehensive research services within policing and the criminal justice sector. The horizon scanning exercise involving a PESTELEO framework necessitates expertise in Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Ethical, Legal, Environmental, and Organisational factors, offering growth prospects for companies proficient in these areas. Although not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale organisations like Bloom Procurement Services Ltd, with capabilities in intricate policy and technological assessments, are well-positioned to take advantage of such contracts to expand their services and influence in shaping future police reforms and strategies.

## Notice

Scope of the Contract : The College of Policing Ltd wants a supplier to carry out the horizon scanning exercise which must adopt a PESTELEO framework (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Ethical, Legal, Environmental, Organisational) to ensure a balanced and comprehensive assessment. In addition to the existing areas, the analysis should include: * Government policy, strategy, and legislative agendas. * Parliamentary activity (select committees, APPGs, inquiries). * Media focus and orientation. * Significant campaigns or lobbying activity from the third sector, commissioners, and others. * Police system changes e.g. Police Reform Programme * Technological developments which could both improve our ability to respond to the threat or present new opportunities for offending. * Potential impact of economic changes and economic instability. * Social inequality and deprivation. * Emerging societal norms, practices, and pressures influencing behaviour (online and offline). * Changes or developments in education and learning. * Influence of social media and the evolving trust landscape. * Possible organisational developments within policing and the wider criminal justice system. * Assessment of prospective impact on policing and NCVPP's future business planning and deliverables. This is not an exhaustive list as the focus of the scan will develop as the work progresses.
