The Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) invites Tender
Public Service Leadership (PSL) wishes to commission a new and innovative cross-public sector programme for senior leaders and invites you to tender for this work.

Procurement

Our procurement policy is consistent with European Union legislation and with the Government's value for money policy, taking into account all aspects of costs including running and disposal costs as well as the initial purchase price.

The National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) carries out its business in a fair, open and transparent manner. It deals with a multitude of local, national and global organisations, from those with a few employees to those with many thousands. Suppliers to the NPIA are appointed in line with EU regulations relating to public sector procurement, following fair and open competition.

The Commercial and Procurement Unit is responsible for the purchasing policy and strategy of the NPIA and manages all areas of the buying process whether purchasing on behalf of the NPIA itself or on behalf of the wider Police Service.

NPIA Terms and Conditions

Unless otherwise stated by the NPIA, the standard terms and conditions that apply to the Agency's Purchase Orders are as shown and can be downloaded from this page.

NPIA Contract Opportunities

To access current tendering opportunities at the NPIA please click on our eSourcing link. eSourcing enables the NPIA and suppliers to use secure web-based tools to conduct strategic activities covering tendering, evaluation and contract management. Potential suppliers are encouraged to register on our eSourcing system and complete the vendor management profile, in order to be able to view current NPIA procurement activities. Other tendering opportunities are also advertised on the Official Journal for the European Union (OJEU) or Bluelight website.

To see what contracts are currently in place, please see our contracts internet page.

Approved suppliers lists

It is not our policy to maintain lists with approved suppliers. If your business is accepted on a list maintained by other government departments it does not therefore mean that you will be invited to bid for tenders that we advertise. We encourage all interested parties to check the Bravo and OJEU websites on a regular basis to obtain information about future and current tenders. We recognise the important contribution that small and medium enterprises make to the economy.

We treat all companies fairly whilst being consistent with achieving best value for money for all contracts that are advertised.

Submit an Innovative Idea

The NPIA aims to promote the use and development of scientific and technical innovations that target specific policing needs and meet strategic objectives. We want to enable excellent, modern policing through the deployment of future-focussed technology.

We encourage suppliers and researchers to approach us with innovative technologies that have the potential to improve policing. See our innovation page for more information.
