Lot #1CTP had a need for a direct recruitment entry scheme for 25/26 for a number of Police…Planned

CTP had a need for a direct recruitment entry scheme for 25/26 for a number of Police Officers or Detectives. The services are expected to include the following in-scope requirements;

  • Talent search and talent attraction (nationwide)
  • Assessment and recruitment of successful candidates
  • managing candidates as they progress through police vetting
  • Provision of facilities and accommodation for successful candidates during the period of foundation training
  • Provision of foundation training materials.

Out of scope:

CTP will organise the police vetting

Scope to be determined:

CTP can provide the instructors for the training, however we are interested in what the marketplace may be able to provide to meet this element of the Demand Entry scheme. Additional information: Interest in this opportunity is encouraged from either single providers who can provide the full range of services or from a consortium approach or managed service provider approach.

Delivery: South East · CTP is a nationwide organisation which partners with host forces across the UK to provide counter terrorism capability. Police officers are seconded from host forces into CTP. A direct entry scheme therefore looks for a centralised approach to CTP recruitment but with contracts of employment being with the host force.
