Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) is procuring an independent delivery body for the Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme. The service will support community scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police Service across London. At borough level, the provider will coordinate scrutiny panels, manage volunteers, organise evidence and relationships, and oversee follow-up activity. At pan-London level, it will combine local insight to identify patterns and ensure scrutiny findings inform MOPAC’s oversight and the Metropolitan Police Service’s organisational learning, policies and supervision. This is a community and administration service, including provision of services to the community (CPV 75200000 and administration services, CPV 75100000). The work will be delivered across London and is classified as a light-touch service.

The procurement has reached tender: MOPAC invited offers through an open procedure. It is divided into one lot. The tender deadline is 16 October 2026 at 12:00, and enquiries close on 9 October 2026 at 17:00. The intended award decision is due by 22 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with two optional one-year extensions, potentially until 31 December 2030, at MOPAC’s discretion. The stated initial two-year value is £2,391,122, with extensions valued at £1,200,000 per year. The potential total value is £4,791,122, or £5,749,346 including gross amounts. Evaluation is 70% quality and 30% price.

This opportunity suits organisations experienced in community engagement, public-sector scrutiny, volunteer management and partnership coordination. Strong candidates will be able to establish and support borough-level panels, recruit or manage volunteers, gather and assess evidence, maintain relationships with communities and stakeholders, and track actions through to follow-up. They will also need the analytical and programme-management capability to bring together findings from across London, identify themes and patterns, and translate local insight into learning for policing oversight, policy and supervision. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is likely to suit an independent body or consortium that can combine community-facing delivery with robust evidence management, reporting and pan-London coordination.

Planning Information

MOPAC has previously issued a Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire (PMEQ) for a Training Programme for Scrutineer and MPS Officers. These two opportunities are linked and form part of MOPAC’s overall Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme (CSTP). As the statutory oversight body for the Metropolitan Police Service (the Met), MOPAC engages and consults with communities across London in a number of different ways to ensure the voices of Londoners directly inform this oversight. This includes supporting and facilitating opportunities for communities to review, monitor and provide feedback on how the police use their powers in the community setting.  Members of the public who volunteer to assist with this vital element of police oversight will need to be trained on a number of important facets of the role. MOPAC needs to appoint an independent body to manage the volunteer cohort and ensure that the new model of Community Scrutiny in London runs smoothly. The background section in the PMEQ provides more detail on the rationale for the new proposals. MOPAC is at an early stage of design. We need your help to develop an ambitious and workable specification for this element, working with a limited timescale. Please do take the time to complete this PMEQ. We are information-gathering, there are no wrong answers. Everything you can tell us will be helpful. Many thanks in advance. Please find the Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire (PMEQ), by visiting the Delta portal at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-London:-Provision-of-services-to-the-community./W9DD88DDQD To respond to this PMEQ, please click here: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/W9DD88DDQD Please review and complete the Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire by Tuesday 31st March at midday.
