## Summary

The Metropolitan Police Service has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Resource Augmentation," which falls under the business and management consultancy and related services category (CPV code 79400000). The contract, valued at £28.4 million, aims to provide a flexible resource augmentation service for the New Met for London 2 programme. The procurement was conducted through a selective tender method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The service is set to operate from 25 March 2026 to 5 August 2031, in London, United Kingdom. The award stage was finalised on 24 March 2026, with the contract being awarded to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the consultancy and resource management sectors, particularly those with expertise in rapid deployment and integration of skilled personnel. Companies that specialise in providing experienced, pre-vetted staff can benefit, as the contract focuses on bridging capacity and capability gaps within the Metropolitan Police Service. Although the contract is not specifically tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, large-scale providers with robust account and performance management capabilities are well-suited to meet the needs outlined in the tender and support its objectives efficiently.

## Notice

This contract provides a flexible resource augmentation service to rapidly supply suitably skilled and experienced personnel to support delivery of the New Met for London 2 programme and related priorities. The service enables short-notice mobilisation of resources that are pre-vetted to the required security level (NPPV2/CTC) and can integrate quickly into MPS delivery teams across multiple disciplines, helping to address capacity and capability gaps and maintain continuity of delivery. The supplier will provide effective account management and governance, including management of the end-to-end engagement and onboarding process, proactive planning and reporting on resource utilisation and spend, and clear performance management. The service includes rapid issue escalation and replacement of underperforming resources, supports blended delivery models (including knowledge transfer where required), and offers transparent, market-benchmarked rate structures to ensure value for money and the ability to flex in line with changing MPS needs.
