Summary of the contracting process

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Merseyside and the Chief Constable for Merseyside commissioned a county lines diversionary and intervention project, titled Op Medusa – Project Stonehaven. The service supports Merseyside Police priorities by reducing the impact of county lines criminal exploitation, serious violence and knife crime. It is a public-sector community and social service requirement, classified under other community, social and personal services. Delivery covers England, including the North West and other English regions. The buying organisation is based at Merseyside Police Headquarters in Liverpool, while the selected provider is Tranmere Rovers in the Community, based at Prenton Park in Prenton. The requirement is for intervention and diversion activity rather than goods, construction or conventional commercial services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold route described as unknown. It comprised one lot. Tranmere Rovers in the Community received the award, which is active, for £30,000 gross in total. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published outcome identifies the service category and the selected supplier, but does not set out an award scoring basis or specific evaluation weighting. The arrangement is therefore a relatively small, time-limited public-service contract focused on county lines diversion and intervention, with the buyer retaining a direct link to policing priorities around criminal exploitation, serious violence and knife crime.

This procurement indicates demand from Merseyside policing bodies for community-based interventions addressing county lines criminal exploitation, serious violence and knife crime. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to design and deliver diversionary and intervention services, work directly with communities and people affected by exploitation, and show a credible contribution to policing and violence-reduction priorities. Relevant experience in community, social or personal services would help establish credibility, particularly where an organisation can demonstrate trusted local relationships and effective delivery in partnership with public bodies. Tranmere Rovers in the Community’s selection also shows that a community-focused organisation with an established local identity can satisfy this type of requirement.
