UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) in London is initiating a tender process for an Independent Delivery Body related to its Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with MOPAC overseeing this initiative aimed at enhancing community scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police Service. This involves coordinating volunteer involvement and support systems to provide effective oversight. Scheduled to end by 2028, this procurement process is particularly significant for service providers with expertise in community engagement and administration services, as demonstrated by the CPV classifications 75100000 and 75200000. With a total contract value of £1,800,000, interested parties should submit their responses to the Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire by 31st March 2026.

This tender represents a substantial growth opportunity for businesses specialising in volunteer management, community services, and administrative oversight. Companies with experience in coordinating volunteer activities, managing projects with community impact, and delivering organisational support would be ideally suited to compete. The role involves bolstering local community efforts and ensuring the effective implementation of scrutiny programmes. By participating in this process, businesses can forge strong ties with MOPAC, potentially leading to longer-term collaborations, particularly if adept at aligning services with regulatory frameworks, such as the UKPGA 2023/54 legal basis. The geographical focus on London suggests potential networking and expansion opportunities within one of the UK’s most vibrant regions.

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.
