Lot 1
No lot description published.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) is intending to tender a contract for the delivery of the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) programme. The programme will be a joint delivery between GMP and Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) with Degree Awarding powers. The contract will seek engagement from providers willing to integrate into our existing student officer training team, based on our GMP training estate. The expectation would be that GMP will lead all operational learning and assessments in Years 1 & 2 and the successful provider deliver the academic learning and assessments of Years 2 and 3 of the PCDA. The tender will seek engagement from HEI providers who would consider committing to support and develop our training estate and infrastructure and, who have a proven track record for delivering high quality teaching and learning to student Police officers. Whilst the contracting Authority is the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, this contract will be tendered and managed by the Greater Manchester Police.

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Higher education services (80300000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 80 | 6,656 | 2 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 8 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKD | 182 | 5.5 median · 1,413 average (42 of 182 with a bid count) | 8.3 average (48 of 182 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
