Provision of Data Warehouse
Authority: COLLEGE OF POLICING LIMITED (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe College needs a consolidated and standardised data warehouse to improve reporting, data quality, and strategic decision making. Current data sits across College Learn and LTM/Access Point systems, creating fragmented insights, manual processes, and inconsistent reporting. It is also currently not possible to provide a contemporaneous data service to policing to consume their data.
The project supports a wider organisational goal to improve governance, reduce manual effort, and provide reliable insight to policing stakeholders, senior leaders, and internal analysts.
The contract will comprise of 3 stages - Discovery, Design, Build and implantation.
The platform must:
- Integrate College Learn and LTM/AP data into a unified data model, with the ability to interface with the Income Tool.
- Define subject areas (organisations, learners, courses, products, locations, financial attributes).
- Establish MDM for core entities.
- Produce business validated definitions, rules, and measures.
- Apply quality rules covering completeness, consistency, timeliness, and validity.
- Retain an agreed period of historical data.
It is expected that this work will be completed by the end of March 2026.

How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 27 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
