Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) is seeking an independent delivery body for London’s Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme, which supports community oversight of the Metropolitan Police Service. The provider will coordinate borough-level scrutiny panels, manage volunteers and evidence, maintain relationships and follow up scrutiny activity. It will also bring together insight from across London, identify patterns and help ensure findings inform MOPAC’s oversight and the Met’s organisational learning, policy and supervision. This is a community services contract, covering activity across London. The work combines local coordination and volunteer support with city-wide analysis and influence on policing practice; suppliers should be able to deliver both operational support to borough panels and integration of their findings across London.

MOPAC invited offers through an open procedure. The tender was published with an enquiry deadline of 15 October 2026 at 5pm and a bid deadline of 23 October 2026 at midday. The expected initial contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2028, with two optional one-year extensions at MOPAC’s discretion, up to 31 December 2030. The estimated value is £2,391,122 for the initial two years; each extension is valued at £1,200,000 a year, with a potential total of £4,791,122. There is one lot. Bids are assessed on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%.

This opportunity is suited to organisations able to manage a dispersed community volunteer programme and coordinate scrutiny activity across multiple London boroughs. Suppliers will need to organise panels and meetings, support volunteers, handle evidence and relationships, and ensure that actions are followed through. They must also be able to draw together local findings, identify wider patterns and communicate insights in ways that can inform police oversight, organisational learning, policy and supervision. The combined borough and pan-London remit calls for both strong local delivery and the ability to connect activity across the city. MOPAC identifies the contract as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so those organisations may compete.

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.
