Traffic Prosecutions

Working in collaboration and funded by Transport for London (TfL), the MPS are looking to procure a document management system, batch print solution and online viewing solution to modernise their back office for the enforcement of camera generated traffic offences such as speeding and red light running.

The process efficiencies achieved through the implementation of this document management system will enable a significant increase in the number of offences processed by the MPS Traffic Prosecutions team without any increase in the current team size.

This project is a key enabler of the Vision Zero strategy, set by the Mayor of London, TfL and the Met Police, to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads with the ultimate ambition to stop any person being killed or seriously injured in a collision by 2041 and contributing to the MPS vision of making London safer for everyone.

The Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime is recommended to:

• Approve capital expenditure of £472k fully funded by Transport for London
• Approve proposed procurement activity and contract award, resulting in revenue expenditure to be funded by Transport for London.
