About

Leicestershire Police and Crime Commissioner is seeking a supplier for the provision of Custody Detention Officers (CDOs) based within the secure estate of police custody suites. The contract will commence on 17 May 2027 for a period of three years until 16 May 2030, with an option to extend annually for up to a further three years (maximum end date 16 May 2033). The successful provider will work in partnership with Leicestershire Police to deliver effective, efficient custody support with CDO cover in line with agreed staffing levels and an appropriate balance of male and female CDOs, backed by supportive, innovative and flexible management focused on service delivery and performance improvement. Force custody suites operate trauma‑informed practices and include a vulnerability suite at Keyham Lane where CDOs are expected to be at the forefront of training regarding vulnerable people. Occasionally detainees are held on behalf of other police forces, the Health & Safety Executive, the Prison Service and Home Office Immigration Enforcement and must be cared for in accordance with current custody policy, legislation and guidance.
