Published requirement description

Please note that due to a system error we are unable to update the previous PME notice for this opportunity (2026/S 000-021780).

Procurement for an Independent Delivery Body for the Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme in London. The model of Community Scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police and the proposed structure of set-piece tasks and meetings is largely volunteer-based. Hence, the main role of the Community Scrutiny Independent Delivery Body (CSIDB) will be volunteer co-ordination and management. This includes some volunteer recruitment; providing coordinated support and resources to empower local volunteers to deliver consistent, high-quality scrutiny within the proposed structural framework; and the collating and reporting on outcomes.

Question for the bid
This buyerMayor's Office for Policing and Crime · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

How often small and medium firms win.

Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 23 of 56 known-size awards · market: CPV 7510 · UK-wide, n=25
41%24%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 44 of 71 known-location awards · market: CPV 7510 · Greater London, n=5
62%40%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 20 decided notices · market: CPV 7510 · UK-wide, n=5
51 days17 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 51 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.

Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.

Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.

Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: at least 40 of 101 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 7510 · Greater London, n=8
40%50%

Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

How many bids did past lots attract?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

About this data
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
  • Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
  • Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
  • Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    Join our Market Engagement event to help shape the transformation of London's community scrutiny of the police before tender launch.

    MOPAC is preparing to commission a London-wide Independent Body to deliver a new model of community scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police in London as part of the Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme (CSTP).

    CSTP aims to strengthen and standardise community scrutiny of police powers across London. The Independent Body will support community volunteer Scrutineers, panel chairs and MPS officers to carry out improved and consistent scrutiny of police powers. The required skillset includes volunteer management, relationship building, data analysis and presentation, administration of set piece panel meetings across London, training and development, and responsibility for building and presenting the narrative of improved community scrutiny of the police to Londoners.

    Ahead of formal tender publication, we are holding two market engagement events to:

    Share an overview of the proposed model

    Outline the scope of the opportunity

    Explain the procurement process and anticipated timelines

    Hear and learn from stakeholders as we refine the specification

    These sessions are open to organisations and individuals working in the following areas: communities, capacity building, civic society, volunteer management, local development, crime and policing, training providers and partners who may be interested in understanding or contributing to this work.

    This is an exciting, unprecedented opportunity to hear about these transformative plans that we hope will positively impact trust and confidence in the police in London. Ample networking time will be built into the agenda as we look to help you build the partnerships that can deliver this challenging and rewarding project.
