Procurement reference

Project_17923

Procurement description

The procurement is for the establishment of a multi‑supplier framework agreement for the provision of security advisory, training, and turnkey international capability‑building services to support the Home Office’s International Strategy and Capabilities (ISC) Unit.

The framework will cover the provision of services across three lots:

Lot 1 – Advisory: provision of specialist individuals or teams delivering strategic, technical, and operational advisory services.

Lot 2 – Training: design and delivery of training programmes in the UK and internationally, including bespoke course development and delivery.

Lot 3 – Turnkey: partial or full end‑to‑end delivery of programmes, combining advisory and training services with operational support such as accommodation, transport, security, logistics, and local services.

Services may be delivered across the following thematic areas, as applicable to the relevant lot:

- Policing

- Fire and Rescue

- Enabling Functions

- Strategic Intelligence and Threat Assessment

- Border Security and Illegal Migration

- National Risk and Resilience

- Operational Support (Lot 3 only)

The framework does not commit the Authority to any minimum level of spend or volume of work. Services will be commissioned on a call‑off basis only, following further competition under the framework. Call‑off contracts may be awarded for delivery in the UK and overseas, depending on operational requirements.

Supply will be on a rate‑card basis, with pricing and delivery models tailored at call‑off stage. Call‑off contracts may use fixed price, capped time‑and‑materials, milestone‑based, or output‑based payment mechanisms, as specified in the call‑off documentation.
