## Summary

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, working with the Metropolitan Police Service, procured specialist project-management consultancy support for network services. The requirement was to help develop the requirements, technical documentation and procurement materials needed to run a future competitive tender for Managed Network Services. It was set up as a framework agreement, allowing further Statements of Work to be agreed during the contract term. The work covers the full range of English regions represented in the procurement: North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The service falls under project-management consultancy services (CPV 72224000), rather than the delivery or operation of the managed network itself.

The procurement is complete and an award was made through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, using a framework agreement. The stated rationale was the need for highly specialised knowledge of the existing solution and operating environment, to maintain continuity and reduce operational risk. The requirement was evaluated on price. The award was made to Mason Advisory Limited, and the related contract is active. The contract value is £46,800, signed on 22 June 2026. The arrangement allows additional purchases through Statements of Work during the contract term, subject to the call-off contract. The recorded lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. One bid was recorded for the requirement.

This procurement indicates demand from policing organisations for consultancy that can shape complex network-services procurements, not for routine network operations. A credible future supplier would need strong project-management consultancy capability, experience writing clear technical requirements and procurement documentation, and a detailed understanding of managed network services. Knowledge of an incumbent or existing network solution and its operating environment would be particularly important, because the buyer prioritised continuity, technical understanding and reduced operational risk. Suppliers should be able to work with the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and the Metropolitan Police Service across a nationally distributed operating environment, and produce procurement artefacts suitable for a competitive tender. The framework and Statement-of-Work model also favour providers able to deliver specialist assignments consistently and at short notice.
