This procurement process, classified under guidance and counselling services, aims to contract a suitable service provider for a 24-month term. The tender is open as of 11 July 2018, with submissions due by 17 August 2018. The estimated contract value is £310,000, with a minimum threshold of £200,000. Proposals should be prepared with a keen understanding of conflict resolution and appropriate intervention strategies. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in counselling and community services, to engage with a significant public sector contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. Competitors should possess demonstrable experience in conflict management or similar fields, as the ability to manage high-stakes conflicts effectively is crucial to meet the requirements of the Metropolitan Police Service. ## Notice The Authority as the contracting authority is tendering for the Provision of Conflict Management Services. The MPS/Authority is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract with a suitably capable Bidder to provide these Services for a term of 24 months. Following a significant increase in serious youth violence and murders, frequently associated with gang issues, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) developed a number of new approaches to preventing this situation from escalating further. The MPS seeks to procure a service provider for the delivery of high-risk conflict resolution/management services in London. The service provider must demonstrate a proven track record of the provision of conflict management or a similar field. Conflict management is an intervention tactic that aims to reduce gang related violence between individuals. The aim of the intervention is to reduce violence by overseeing and assisting communication between one or more conflicting parties. Conflict management is undertaken to remove threats of violence; in cases where there is a Threat to Life and where serious group offending is known or suspected to exist. Each case referred to the service provider will be unique; however an example could be that a member of gang A has a disagreement with a member of gang B. It comes to the attention of police or a local authority that the member of gang A is actively seeking a violent outcome to the disagreement and that the likely result is the use of serious violence. On receipt of this information, the MPS will make a referral (via secure server email) to the conflict management service provider who will subsequently mediate between the conflicting parties with a view to achieving a reduction in hostilities ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e08fba7b-07c5-4942-b61d-9e84c871e574 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | 17 Aug 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Aug 2018 - 19 Aug 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £310,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE | | Locality | GREATER LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW6 1TR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Hammersmith and Fulham | | Electoral ward | West Kensington | | Westminster constituency | Chelsea and Fulham | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85312300 - Guidance and counselling services - 85312320 - Counselling services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 11 Jul 2018 at 06:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e08fba7b-07c5-4942-b61d-9e84c871e574 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e08fba7b-07c5-4942-b61d-9e84c871e574 11th July 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=24452&B=BLUELIGHT Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/40396 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.met.police.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
