The procurement, which falls under the software package and information systems industry category, has been completed with the award issued on 1st September 2022.

Notice Title

MOPAC VRU Online Grant Management System

Notice Description

MOPAC and the VRU provide numerous grant funding streams across London to support our strategic outcomes and deliver the Police and Crime Plan. To effectively oversee the grant process, we seek to embed an online system that can manage all grants from tender through management and be used for a variety of programme-wide performance analysis and evaluation purposes. The maximum budget available for this online grant management system is PS100,000. The online grant management system will be required to support numerous functions of the grant process and provide management and oversight in a user-friendly format, for use by Local Authorities and VCS organisations. This will begin at grant application and award, through ongoing performance and financial management. The system will, in the first instance, be used for the London Crime Prevention Fund (LCPF) which is split into two strands: direct funding and VRU uplift. These two strands have different deliverables, but both provide grant funding to 32 Local Authorities in London. In addition to the online system, we require resource support to set these LCPF programmes up and migrate existing data, by the end of June 2022. A new round of funding begins in the next financial year. The intention is then that MOPAC and the VRU will be self-sufficient in setting up other grant programmes going forward. Deadline for Submission of ITQ Bids is 12pm (midday) 15th April 2022. All submissions must be emailed to VRUCommissioning@london.gov.uk
