Established in 2025 to bring together commercial learning and development and a CIPS Accredited Study Centre

 

BlueLight Commercial was established by the Home Office and policing sector in 2020, to help blue light services transform their commercial lifecycle and procurement activity and to increase commercial capability.

The BlueLight Commercial Academy combines our hands-on public sector procurement expertise with training capabilities to offer:

• Commercial learning and development 
• CIPS qualifications as an Accredited Study Centre

CIPS Accredited Study Centre

Delivered through interactive online classes and supported by a resource rich virtual learning environment, our tutors apply practical experience of the differences between public and private sector procurement, and the public sector regulations which apply.

As a not-for-profit study fees are retained within the blue light sector and any excess is reinvested in member services for the benefit of front-line operations.
