Notice Description

This contract will have an initial 2 year term at a value of PS2,391,122 with the option to extend for a further two one year periods at a value of PS1,200,000 per annum, exercised at the discretion of MOPAC.

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.
