The deadline for submission of compliant verification information to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas under the crime contract procurement process passed on 31 January 2025. Applicants that met this deadline will be on the October 2025 rotas.
Applicants who tendered under the Stage one Process but did not meet the 31 January 2025 deadline may still have the opportunity to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas if they submit compliant verification information quickly.
We intend to give as many Applicants as possible the opportunity to join the October 2025 Duty Rotas. We will, therefore, continue to review verification information submitted after 31 January 2025.
Verification information will be reviewed in the order submitted until such time that it is necessary, for operational reasons, to commence production of Duty Rotas. We cannot confirm precisely what date this will be. Therefore, the sooner applicants act, the greater the likelihood that they will be able to join the October 2025 rotas.
