The MOPAC VAWG Expert Reference Group is an independent, non-statutory group of VAWG sector experts, whose role is to represent women and girls, victims and survivors, and their organisations, at decision-making levels. Members of the Expert Reference Group (ERG) share insights, expertise and constructive challenge, and speak with (as much as possible) a collective voice, to ensure that the needs, experience and priorities of the VAWG VCS are represented across various platforms, including the London VAWG Board, MOPAC VAWG commissioning and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). There is a current service in place, provided by the Women’s Resource Centre (WRC).
Co-chairs of the ERG are elected by member organisations, and participate as members of the London VAWG Board. MOPAC also consults with the ERG regularly to gather feedback on strategic priorities. The ERG facilitates engagement between the VAWG sector and the MPS, and acts as a forum for consultation on the MPS’ work to improve trust and confidence.
The purpose of this project is to redesign and commission a specialist VAWG VCS-led secretariat service to maintain an independent, non-statutory VAWG Expert Reference Group for London so that voices of women and girls are reflected in decision-making across the VAWG system.

This is a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice, MOPAC are seeking views on a proposed 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.

MOPAC currently funds two pan-London specialist support services for victims of stalking: the London Stalking Support Service (LSSS) and the advocacy element of the Stalking Threat Assessment Centre (S-TAC)/Early Stalking Intervention Project (ESIP). A summary of each service is detailed below:
- LSSS offers support for all victims of stalking. The helpline provides information and guidance on the law in relation to stalking and harassment, reporting stalking, gathering evidence, ensuring personal safety and practical steps to reduce risk. The advocacy service intervenes on behalf of victims of stalking who are not receiving an appropriate statutory response, and a psychological advocacy service is also available for victims of stalking impacted by traumatic stress.
- S-TAC is a multi-agency, pan-London, victim-focussed unit, which looks at improving the identification of and response to stalking reports in London, across the criminal justice system and health sector through rehabilitative interventions for all types of stalkers. The advocacy service focusses on high-risk cases.
From 1st April 2026, specialist support for victims of stalking in London will be delivered through one service.
By re-commissioning London stalking services, we will:
- Review the learnings from the existing service offer both in London and across the UK to understand best-practice in stalking service provision and the changes in both stalking offending and the needs of victims over recent years.
- Consult with victims and survivors, the specialist stalking sector, VAWG sector organisations, the Metropolitan Police Service, and other stakeholders on their priorities, challenges, experiences, and feedback.
- Conduct market engagement to understand the wider stalking market and warm-up potential providers.
- Re-design a new pan-London stalking service for victims based on research, evidence, and input from stakeholders.
- Procure a new stalking service for victims based on value for money, innovation in proposed service delivery, provider experience, and service sustainability.
- Secure a new contract with a provider by October 2025, to have a ‘6 month’ bedding in/development period before a new service begins in April 2026.
Please note this is a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice and MOPAC are currently only seeking interested parties views at this point. The Tender Notice is estimated to be published end of May 2025.
