Crime Finalisations Backlog Support

The West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA), acting on behalf of West Yorkshire Police (WYP), is seeking a supplier to provide one manager and six investigative staff. This team will support a targeted, time-sensitive initiative aimed at reducing a significant backlog in crime finalisations. Recently, West Yorkshire Police has faced increased seasonal demand, which has put pressure on the Force Crime Management Unit (FCMU). As a result, the FCMU has shifted its focus to managing higher appointment volumes, leading to a growing backlog in finalising crime cases. The procurement process was carried out through a Further Competition from the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4) under reference RM6309 Lot 1 Business Consultancy. The contract is expected to start on November 24, 2025, and the work is to be completed within a 10-week timeframe, ending on January 30, 2026. There is an option to extend the contract for additional periods, up to February 27, 2026, at the discretion of the Authority.
