MyEnds 3.0 is an evolved version of the flagship VRU MyEnds programme which will run from April 2027 until March 2029. This new iteration will allow us to implement key learning from the MyEnds programmes and strengthen the key components of the overall programme design, optimising innovation with more targeted strategic alignment. Background to Current Service : The MyEnds programme utilises a hyper-local approach to address needs in neighbourhoods across the capital that are most affected by high and sustained levels of violence. The core model endorsed by the VRU for this programme is based on the empowerment of communities, recognising the critical role and collective impact community stakeholders have in local violence reduction initiatives. This is achieved through the delivery of key activity strands, including strengthening local partnerships, young people and community participation, capacity building of the grassroots sector, and the delivery of locally informed interventions. Evidence shows that a community-led approach, by those who know their area and its challenges best, is the most effective way to prevent violence. MyEnds provides communities with the tools and resources to deliver their own prevention measures. This includes support networks for parents and carers, after-school activities, youth work in neighbourhood youth clubs, mentoring and targeted support interventions. Service Requirements The VRU Area Prioritisation Tool, previously used to identify areas for the 2019 MyEnds pilot and MyEnds 2.0, has been refreshed with updated data and metrics to identify eligible locations for MyEnds 3.0. The tool identifies ward-level areas that have consistently ranked within the top 15% of London wards across a range of violence and public health indicators between 2021 and 2026. Based on this analysis, the 16 boroughs containing the highest-scoring wards have been shortlisted as eligible for the programme. The VRU is seeking community-based organisations or consortium bids led by a lead provider to deliver the programme across these boroughs. Bidders will be invited to provide additional evidence of local need within their proposed delivery locations as part of the application process. Eligible Boroughs: 1. Lambeth 2. Croydon 3.

Project background: Since 2014, City Hall has invested in embedding youth Independent Domestic Violence Advocates (IDVAs) into London’s Major Trauma Centres (MTCs). Since 2023, this programme of work, referred to as hospital-based domestic abuse advocacy (HBDAA), has been overseen and managed by the VRU. Prior to the VRU, this programme and investment had been overseen and managed by MOPAC within City Hill, aligned to the Mayor’s Police & Crime Plan (PCP). The HBDAA programme represents a violence reduction initiative, heavily aligned to the VRU’s own violence reduction strategies, most notably: the trusted relationship between a young person, and a trusted adult, as well as the concept of place, reaching young people where they are, and, in this case, leveraging a reachable moment in the lives of young people to break patterns of violence and harm. Additionally, this intervention sits within a wider programme of hospital-based initiatives, specifically, operating alongside the VRU’s hospital-based youth work (HBYW) programme, which embeds highly skilled and specialised youth workers into London’s four MTCs and eight London A&E units. Description of the service The purpose of embedding these IDVAs is to support children and young people who have been impacted by domestic abuse and other gender based harm; IDVAs are there to offer a supportive and stabilising presence in crisis or distress, and help young people cope and recover from the trauma of physical or psychological injury due to domestic abuse, and help disrupt future patterns of violence and harm. The service engages young people aged 11–25 who present at Major Trauma Centres (MTCs) as victims of domestic abuse, or who are identified as being at risk of future harm. IDVAs provide practical support, advocacy, and help to coordinate a broader safeguarding response for the young person, working alongside clinical and community partners to help young people access appropriate services and support. Support offered typically at the point of presentation may extend beyond that of the hospital, and into the community. Target audience The VRU expects the Service to proactively identify, assess, and engage, young people, aged 11-25, who present at MTCs with injuries resulting from domestic abuse, or other gender-based harms. The following eligibility criteria will apply to the young people offered the Service. A young person: - will present at one of the specific MTCs within the scope of this service, AND; will be aged between 11 and 25 years of age; Additionally, a young person: - will have been, or will be suspected as having been, the victim of domestic abuse, OR; will have been, or will be suspected as having been, the victim of child sexual abuse, OR; will have been, or will be suspected as having been, the victim of rape, OR; will have been, or will be suspected as having been, the victim of sexual exploitation; and, or where a suspected safeguarding issue has arisen. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and the Provider will be expected to use their professional judgment, sometimes in collaboration with hospital staff, to identify forms of vulnerability that warrant intervention. Scope of delivery Services will be delivered in London’s four MTCs, namely: - King’s College Hospital - Royal London Hospital - St George’s Hospital - St Mary’s Hospital Whilst the principles of delivery will remain the same across all hospitals, it is important that the successful bidder demonstrates a strong understanding of, and connection to, the local communities and systems in which their allocated hospitals are situated. The specific outcomes which the VRU are seeking through this provision include, but are not limited to: - Supporting young people to access positive opportunities and support. - Disrupting cycles of violence and reducing violence and harm. - Ensuring that children and young people feel and are safe. - Reducing hospital (re)admissions/attendance. - Reducing offending / severity of offending. Timeframe and Budget The maximum estimated fixed budget for this commission is up to £1,045,957.05 excl VAT over a 50-month contract period (2-month mobilisation, and then a 2-year initial period plus a 24-month extension), subject to confirmation of funding, internal governance and relevant approvals. The indicative value to deliver services within one hospital is £64,565.25 per annum. Market Engagement The VRU will be holding a market warming session on: Tuesday 8th September, 10.00 - 11.00 via MS Teams The VRU welcomes engagement from organisations with experience of delivering domestic abuse advocacy services, mentoring, violence reduction, safeguarding, exploitation, or related support services to children and young people experiencing gender-based harms, particularly within health-based settings. This may include experience of working within hospitals, emergency departments, or in close partnership with health and safeguarding professionals.

The contracting Authority (the "Authority") in relation to this notice is the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime ("MOPAC"), on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Service ("MPS") and wider UK policing organisations. The Authority is undertaking a procurement for the managed services to support, operate, maintain and enhance an existing Digital Public Contact ("DPC") platform and associated services. The Unified Services Procurement ("USP") platform provides access to critical national public capability, through which members of the public access policing services digitally across England and Wales. The USP supports the delivery of public-facing digital services across participating policing organisations, and enables members of the public to report incidents, provide and receive information, and access policing services through secure and accessible digital channels. The USP enables each force to deliver a range of nationally consistent online services to the public, whilst maintaining their distinct own local identity. The Authority is not seeking to procure an end-to-end replacement platform. The procurement is focused on the effective operation, support and ongoing evolution of the existing capability, including the delivery of enhancements, new functionality and associated service improvements throughout the contract term. The Authority's priority for this procurement is to deliver (under a single contract) a run and maintain service in a more efficient manner for its stakeholders and end users. The procurement will consolidate and enhance existing delivered services, thereby streamlining delivery, modernising key components, and strategically positioning the USP platform to support significant policing reforms and future service evolution. The DPC programme is guided by the following key strategic imperatives: 1) Policing Reform: adapting to significant structural changes, including potential force consolidation and the formation of a National Police Service ("NPS"). For further details, please refer to the 'From local to national: a new model for policing' white paper. 2) Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence ("AI"): embracing AI to enhance public contact through AI-based reporting, AI analysis, conversational AI, and intelligent assistance. 3) Identity and Personalisation: moving towards authenticated, personalised, and context-aware services, leveraging user accounts (with user authentication via GOV.UK One Login) for tailored experiences. 4) Channel Convergence: achieving a consistent and unified experience across web, chat, and voice channels for "first contact" with policing. The core service delivery for the USP primarily involves the provision and maintenance of the DPC platform current capabilities, specifically the following core services: 1) Website Front End and Public Digital Channels: provision of the public-facing digital channels that support access to policing information and services, comprising the Single Online Home ("SOH"), Police.uk and the National My Police Portal ("NMPP"). SOH provides the primary digital front door for policing, enabling crime and incident reporting, access to advice and guidance, neighbourhood policing engagement, and performance information through a consistent, locally branded user experience. Police.uk provides the national policing website and aggregation layer, supporting consistent access to information and services across force boundaries. NMPP provides a secure, authenticated portal through which users can track cases, receive updates and communicate with officers, enabling ongoing two-way digital engagement between the public and policing. 2) Chat Services and AI-Assisted Engagement: offering chat services and developing AI-based solutions for natural language reporting, triage, and guidance. 3) Website Supporting Services: the operational and technical services that sit behind the public-facing website and forms experience, enabling transactions to be processed, monitored, secured and delivered to policing systems. 4) Integration and Data Exchange (iHub): facilitating data exchange between public-facing services and force/national systems, using a Standard Data Model. 5) StreetSafe and Analytics and Insights Services: providing various dashboards for demand, usage, and performance metrics. 6) Open Data: managing and publishing open data about crime and policing (data.police.uk) and local neighbourhood information. 7) Operator Assist and Management Assist: these services introduce AI-enabled capabilities to support policing operations. Operator Assist focuses on real-time support for contact centre staff, including analysis of live calls and provision of guidance. Management Assist focuses on post-event analysis, generating insights from recorded data. In addition to the core services outlined above, Bidders will be requested to provide separate pricing for a range of optional services which the Authority may choose to utilise during the contract term to support future enhancements and wider DPC transformation. Bidders will be required to show their capability in this area. The Bidder that submits the most advantageous tender will also have the potential to deliver project and change work, based on delivery of the Core Services, at the Authority's sole discretion. The existing DPC platform leverages a mix of technologies. Key tooling includes Optimizely Digital Experience Platform ("DXP") for website content management, a bespoke React-based forms engine for public data capture, and an AWS integration platform. The NMPP is built on AWS, utilising GOV.UK One Login for authentication and GOV.UK Notify for communications. Chat Services use Cisco Webex Engage or locally provisioned products. For analytics and monitoring, tools such as Power BI, Google Analytics 4, Splunk, and Azure Sentinel are in use. Development is supported by Azure DevOps, and Cloudflare provides essential security and edge services. While this landscape reflects our current environment and does not require re-platforming at this time, specific components may necessitate modernisation during the contract term. The Authority published a Preliminary Market Engagement ("PME") Notice for this opportunity on 12 May 2026 (updated 15 May 2026) reference: Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-045079. PME was subsequently conducted in the form of: • Market briefing event (with open question and answer session) on 9 June 2026; and • Market Sounding Questionnaire.

The procurement is being conducted using the Competitive Flexible Procedure in accordance with Section 20(1) and Section 20(2)(b) of the Procurement Act 2023. The anticipated procurement timetable for subsequent tender stages is included in the Request to Participate. The Authority anticipates that the single supplier delivery model will provide a robust foundation to support the Home Office reform agenda into the NPS following the end of the contract term, and any future procurement strategies or objectives at that point.

The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) is undertaking a virtual market engagement exercise on Monday 29th June 2026 at 3PM, via MS Teams, to inform the commissioning of an Expert Partner for Youth Digital Safety in London. The London Violence Reduction Unit (VRU), hosted within the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), pioneers a partnership-based public health approach to tackling violence rooted in prevention and early intervention. Since 2019, the VRU has invested in over 550,000 targeted interventions for young people across London. The VRU invests in interventions at critical moments to keep young people safe in and out of school and at the key touchpoints that influence a young person’s journey; early years and families, education, positive opportunities, youth work, and communities and place. In London, working in partnership, we bring together services at a local level to better coordinate delivery of prevention. We build and support effective partnerships with government, local authorities, the NHS, education services, and the police. Our strength is in connection to London’s diverse communities and young people. We’ve made embedding the voice of young people, practitioner and communities a critical part of our approach and decision-making. You can read the VRU's strategy on our website and view the VRU’s outcomes framework, which measures our impact. Background The VRU recognises that the rapid proliferation of online platforms and technologies has created new challenges and opportunities for young people. Online spaces can provide connection, creativity, learning and participation, but they can also expose children and young people to harmful content, exploitation, misogyny, harassment and coercion, and exacerbate conflict. The boundaries between online and offline life are increasingly blurred. There remains a significant gap between young people’s lived experiences of the online world and the systems, policies and services designed to support them. As digital risks evolve rapidly, evidence, insight and responses across the sector have struggled to keep pace. The Mayor's Violence Reduction Unit is seeking to engage with the market in advance of a forthcoming procurement opportunity to appoint an Expert Partner for Youth Digital Safety in London to support and develop the VRU’s strategic approach to youth digital safety in London. This commission will ensure evidence and insight, youth voice, policy, learning, co-design are translated into stronger programme design, delivery, practice and strategic influence. The Expert Partner will sit across the VRU’s wider youth digital safety programme. At the time of commissioning, this wider programme is expected to include: •Trusted Adult Training – specialist support for practitioners working with children and young people •Digital Youth Work Pilots – innovative approaches to digital youth work and digital engagement •Local Authority Test-and-Learn Pilots – local approaches to strengthen safeguarding and system responses to online harms. The VRU wants to build on its existing learning and develop a more mature regional model for coordinating learning, policy and practice on online harms. This creates an opportunity for London to appoint an expert partner that strengthens local systems and place-based approaches, supports frontline services and practitioners, supporting regional and metropolitan approaches and leads the way nationally in developing an evidence-led, youth-centred approach to preventing and tackling online harms. Description of the service The successful provider(s), which can be a partnership or consortium bid with a lead provider, will act as a strategic insight, learning partner, youth voice and practice translation function for the VRU's wider youth digital safety programme. They will be responsible for strengthening the VRU’s response to online harms and youth digital safety to become more coordinated, evidence-led and mature. They will provide cross-cutting expertise and a test-and-learn function that can monitor emerging issues, share best practice, and strengthen the connection between research, policy, safeguarding and delivery. Target Audience The commission will focus on online harms affecting children and young people aged 11–25, with relevance to the VRU's violence reduction, safeguarding and prevention agenda. Providers will need to demonstrate an understanding of how digital risks, behaviours and protective factors may present differently across adolescence and intersectionality - and draw on relevant specialist expertise where needed. The commission is expected to address a broad and evolving range of online harms that may intersect with peer conflict and harmful social media dynamics through to exploitation, VAWG and misogyny, technology-enabled abuse, and forms of online harm that can contribute to or escalate offline violence. This list is indicative rather than exhaustive; a core purpose of the commission is to help the VRU refine its understanding of which online harms are most relevant to its violence reduction agenda. Scope of Delivery The commission is structured into two complementary lots, each with core requirements and an optional draw-down provision that may be accessed subject to programme need, funding availability and internal governance approvals. Bids may be led by a single organisation, consortium or partnership. Lot 1: Research, Policy and Strategic Insight Provides strategic evidence, research, horizon-scanning, policy support, knowledge products and external influence relevant to youth digital safety and online harms - including emerging evidence and strategic insight, knowledge products and briefings, policy and legislative developments, consultation support, and evidence synthesis. Lot 2: Programme Development, Test-and-Learn and Learning Partner Supports programme design, co-design, implementation learning and continuous improvement across the VRU's wider youth digital safety portfolio - including support to test-and-learn activity, facilitate communities of practice, learning and evaluation, practice translation, and the development of frameworks, tools or guidance based on delivery learning. The Expert Partner will sit across the VRU's wider youth digital safety programme, which at the time of commissioning is expected to include Trusted Adult Training, Digital Youth Work Pilots, and Local Authority Test-and-Learn Pilots.
