UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the London Borough of Waltham Forest, titled "Stop Listen Engage," focuses on community safety within the sector of services, particularly targeting the interactions between young people and the police in Waltham Forest, London. This initiative addresses significant racial disparities experienced during police stop-and-search procedures, aiming to improve trust through advocacy and support. The procurement method was limited competition, with an award date set on 29th September 2025. The contract is active, running from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2028, with a potential extension based on satisfactory performance. The project, already in the award stage, is classified under the community action programme category.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in community advocacy, training, and youth engagement services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in fostering police-community relations. Organisations with a focus on social value improvement and those with a vested interest in enhancing civic relationships would find this project a suitable growth platform. As the procurement has utilised a limited competition method, companies with a proactive approach towards engaging marginalised communities and possessing a strong track record in community liaison could significantly benefit from engaging in similar opportunities in future tenders by sub-central public authorities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Stop Listen Engage

Notice Description

This Waltham Forest Community Safety project tackles the negative interactions between young people, particularly from Black and Asian communities, and the police in Waltham Forest. A 2020 consultation revealed that these groups disproportionately experience negative stop-and-search encounters, leading to a breakdown in trust with law enforcement. The project, built on recommendations from the Young People's Independent Advisory Group (YIAG), seeks to address racial disparities, raise awareness of young people's rights, and improve police-community relations through advocacy, training, and support.
