In order to relentlessly deliver for London, the MPS is embarking on work to renew policing by consent by delivering more trust, less crime, and high standards. To do this, the Met needs an improved approach to how it understands and uses data, making use of new technologies and techniques.
Project Peel underpins efforts to relentlessly deliver for the public. It will enable the Met to become a data-driven, insight-based, and intelligence-led organisation. It will allow the Met to make better decisions by bringing precision to its community crime fighting and, by better use of data and the introduction of cutting-edge analysis, it will allow the Met to better focus its activity.
This project is critical to delivery of the over-arching ambition. Its goal is to set up a new capability – a coalition, representing colleagues from across the Met and private sector – which can take, analyse, and provide insight drawn from a range of data. This rich picture will influence its operational activity. Supporting this, Peel will deliver a new framework for measuring performance (focusing on the objectives of more trust, less crime, higher standards) and will identify new types of data which can inform further development.

This decision seeks approval for a further 12 month contract extension, in addition to the 12 months already approved in PCD 1136, to continue support until the current Vodafone Mobile Voice and Data Services contract is replaced.
The previous approval for a contract renewal was done in advance of negotiation with the supplier. Having completed the negotiation it would be most economical to change the parameters of the renewal to gain best value and reduce incumbent advantage in the market assessment to be undertaken.
This decision does not request additional funding or budget growth.

Bounce Agency were originally contracted to develop a Serious Violence Toolkit in April 2019, which could be used by a range of stakeholders when responding in the aftermath of a serious incident of violence. Since then, Bounce Agency received additional funding which enabled the app to evolve into an on-line resource with app type functionality, that is used by community safety practitioners. The app is now recognised as the “Serious Incident Manager” and has been piloted at Waltham Forest borough.
The Serious Incident Manager has been welcomed by London Heads of Community Safety across London as a resource that could be used to keep the local community and key partners informed & the Metropolitan Police Service are considering the option of adopting the system, so that they and local partners can jointly respond to a critical incident through a single seamless system.
This report is seeking approval to direct award a contract to Bounce for 9 months in order for the VRU to run a procurement process for a 2 two- year Software as a Service (SaaS) contract which will include maintenance, hosting, training, support and further software development and updates of the current Serious Incident Manager. This will ensure that there is a continuation of service as Bounce has built the Serious Incident Manager, has unique knowledge of the subject matter acquired over 3 years, understands the community safety environment, and needs of professionals.

This decision concerns a Single Tender Action for the maintenance and servicing of the 40 Evidential Breath Machines (EBMs) that are currently situated across the MPS estate. The Business Justification requests continuing these arrangements through a new contract for a 2 year agreement with the opportunity to extend for a further year (a maximum of 3 years) at a contract value of £340k (£113k pa) with Intoximeters UK Ltd.
The MPS has a statutory requirement to enforce drink drive legislation and the EBM process provides the evidential information required to make a charging decision.
This contract is critical for ensuring that the breathalyser machines produce sufficient evidence for front line policing decisions, charging those suspected of being involved in a collision, those suspected of committing a moving traffic offence and those drivers suspected of having consumed alcohol or being under the influence of alcohol.
The existing maintenance contracts held by Intoximeter UK will expire in September 2022. This proposed contract will provide continuity for those services.

The HMICFRS Counter Corruption Report (March 2022) stated that: By 31st March 2023 the MPS should ensure that it has full IT monitoring capability to effectively protect the information contained within its systems and help it to identify potentially corrupt officers and staff.’ 
The purpose of this decision is to meet the HMICFRS recommendation. The MPS is seeking to procure VigilancePro Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to deliver Lawful Business Monitoring.
The Investigatory Powers Regulations 2018 allows businesses, including public authorities and police forces, to monitor the use of their Information Communications Technology (ICT) systems. Police systems contain confidential and sensitive data. The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) must ensure that its systems, and the data they contain, are only accessed and used for a proper policing purpose. Moreover, the Met Values and the Code Ethics require that MPS systems are used in a way which upholds integrity and professionalism.
Lawful Business Monitoring (LBM) will identify and prevent misuse. It will be operated by the MPS Directorate of Professional Standards (DPS). Members of the workforce found to have misused MPS systems will be held to account. Information retrieved from monitoring may be used in misconduct, criminal and performance meetings.

This decision seeks approval to procure and implement a video streaming and GPS positioning solution that would allow members of public to provide their location and stream video from their mobile devices to police users without having to install software on their device.
This could for example enable a 999 caller to supplement their description of an incident with a live video. The MPS officers can view live videos via a browser application, together with location information.
The MPS will utilise the CDW/East Midlands Strategic Commercial Unit (EMSCU) Framework to procure a solution. The contract would be for 2 years with the potential for two additional 12 month extensions and the total cost of the solution of £2,447,900 is funded from Digital Policing budgets.

Integrated Offender Management (IOM) is the national multi-agency partnership that manages the most persistent, repeat offenders. In 2021 a specific IOM framework for London was launched by MOPAC, MPS, London Probation and partners which, focuses partners on persistent offenders most likely to reoffend violently. In recognition of the importance of this work Mayoral funding has been allocated to deliver IOM interventions as part of work to address serious violence under this priority area with the Police and Crime Plan.
This decision seeks approval to co-commission with London Probation two new services to support IOM work across London. These two new interventions, one for mental health and one for service user engagement, will support current activity to reduce the reoffending of this group. MOPAC will lead the procurement, which will involve initially accepting up to £0.55m of funding from London Probation as well committing funding of £1.32m for spend between January 2023 and March 2025.
Phase two of IOM co-commissioning, which is planned to include a dedicated neurodiversity and community mentoring provision, will be commissioned during 2023 using the remaining budget.
