Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and the Metropolitan Police Service jointly commissioned an independent progress review of the Metropolitan Police. The work assesses the force’s progress following Baroness Casey of Blackstock’s 2023 report into its culture and standards. It involves an independent assessment carried out by Dr Gillian Fairfield, covering the organisation’s response and progress against the issues identified in that report. The procurement is for professional services in business and management consultancy, rather than policing operations, equipment or construction. The buying organisation is the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, based in London, and the service is delivered for the Metropolitan Police Service in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single completed lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. GEODORO LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 2 December 2025 and runs from 11 December 2025 to 30 June 2026. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT, or £120,000 including VAT. A proposed amendment would increase the value to £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT, with the amended period starting on 30 July 2026. The award relates to the single lot covering the independent progress review. The published information describes the review’s purpose and independent assessment, but does not set out a separate price or quality weighting for evaluation.

This procurement shows demand from MOPAC and the Metropolitan Police Service for independent organisational review and business management consultancy focused on policing culture, standards and measurable progress after a major external report. Competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate credible independence, senior assessment capability and the ability to examine an institution’s response to detailed findings rather than provide routine consultancy. Relevant experience in organisational culture, standards, governance, public-sector improvement reviews and evidence-based progress assessment would help establish credibility. Suppliers would also need to work with senior public bodies and present clear, defensible conclusions about progress. The appointed provider was an SME, indicating that this type of specialist review can be delivered by a smaller consultancy with the appropriate expertise.
