## Summary

The Home Office has completed the procurement process for the "College of Policing Training Programme Delivery," a contract aimed at providing policing standards-aligned training and advisory support. This process involves a direct award under Section 41(1)(a) of the Procurement Act 2023, with reliance on exclusive rights held by the College of Policing. Located in London, the Home Office awards this contract to strengthen UK policing professionalism and international partnerships. The procurement stage is classified as complete, and the contract, valued at £9,000,000, spans from 3 March 2026 to 3 March 2030, facilitating personnel-training services. Critical milestones include delivery schedules and mandatory course reporting within set timeframes.

This tender unlocks valuable growth opportunities for organisations specialising in training services but underscores the unique position of the College of Policing due to its proprietary standards and exclusive rights. Businesses equipped to provide operational expertise and curriculum content supporting overseas programmes will find potential collaboration avenues, particularly those accustomed to compliance with stringent accreditation frameworks. The contract, though delivered by a single supplier, presents potential service expansion opportunities through supplementary training and advisory support integration, fostering international operational engagements aligned with UK policing standards.

Provision of UK-policing-standards-aligned training, advisory support, doctrine-based curriculum content, and operational expertise to support overseas programmes

### Procurement Information

The contract is being directly awarded under Section 41(1)(a) of the Procurement Act 2023, relying on Schedule 5 (technical and exclusive rights). The College of Policing is the only organisation with the lawful authority to set UK policing professional standards, maintain Authorised Professional Practice, and accredit policing-specific training aligned to those standards. These exclusive rights cannot be replicated by any commercial or alternative public sector provider. While some elements of the services (such as training delivery or advisory support) may appear generic in isolation, they are intrinsically linked to the College of Policing's proprietary standards, accreditation frameworks, and governance arrangements. Substituting another supplier would remove the ability to deliver CoP-accredited outputs and would undermine the integrity, credibility, and international recognition of the training offer. On this basis, competition is not feasible and a direct award is justified.
