FOI Request 10062025-1 – Communications Support

Request

“I am writing under the Freedom of Information Act to request the following information about external support provided to the Northamptonshire PFCC or OPFCC in relation to internal/external communications and/or media relations and/or public affairs and/or public relations:

 When the PFCC or OPFCC last went out to tender for this type of support;

  1. Which supplier won the contract;
  2. What the value of the contract is;
  3. When the PFCC or OPFCC is next going out to tender for this type of support.”

Response

I can confirm the Office of the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner does hold the information requested.

Support to the OPFCC in relation to internal/external communications and/or media relations and/or public affairs and/or public relations is provided in house through a joint OPFCC/Fire Communications Team. In 2025/26, the OPFCC allocated £231k for the provision of the joint Communications Team and there are no plans to go out to tender to replace the current provision.
