First deadline approaches for crime procurement process
There are two weeks to the deadline for the first stage of the procurement process for the 2025 crime contract.

If you submit your tender after this date but before Wednesday 30 April 2025, your contract will start on Wednesday 1 October 2025. However, you will be unable to join a duty rota until January 2026.
Tenders received from Thursday 1 May 2025 to Monday 30June 2025 will be opened in early July 2025 and any tenders received from Tuesday 1 July 2025 onwards will be opened the month following submission.
How do I tender?
