Tender description

A virtual Market Engagement Session was held on 30th April 2026 - link to recorded session is available via the sell2bluelight portal We would now like suppliers to provide feedback on the draft specification as a stage 2 of the market engagement process. BlueLight Commercial currently manages a National Framework for Police Constable Entry Routes (PCER) which includes lots for Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship (PCDA) and Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP). This existing framework ends in February 2027 and therefore we need to tender its replacement. The new Framework will include as a minimum the same programmes and potentially other lots which fit within the scope of Police Initial Entry Routes. We are currently defining the scope of this new framework and would like to speak to the market to ensure we are suitably informed when finalising the scope that it is appropriate, fit for purpose and achievable. To access further information about the event please register your interest via our e-tendering platform via https://sell2.in-tend.co.uk/blpd/home
