    Brief

    Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner seeks a service provider to supply Custody Detention Officers (CDOs) working within police custody suites across the force area. The contract runs from 17 May 2027 for an initial 3-year period (to 16 May 2030) with options to extend by 12-month increments up to a maximum of 6 years total (ending 16 May 2033).

The service includes occasional detainees held for other agencies (other police forces, Health & Safety Executive, Prison Service, and Immigration Enforcement), managed as standard operational activity.
