The College are seeking to appoint suitably qualified professional service providers (SPS) to assist forces to develop and implement 'smart; problem solving approaches in knife crime hotspots. This work is to take place in two phases: Phase one dates TBD • Assist with the development of problem solving plans in relevant areas, and carry out quality assurance once completed, with structured feedback being provided to the individuals/teams responsible. Phase two dates TBD but completion prior t March 2026 • Provide tailored support to areas who require additional assistance with the development and implementation of their problem solving plans.

The 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.

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.
