Engagement process description
MOPAC will also be issuing another Preliminary Market Engagement Questionnaire (PMEQ) for a Community Scrutiny Independent Delivery Body.
These two opportunities are linked and form part of MOPAC’s overall Community Scrutiny Transformation Programme (CSTP).
As the statutory oversight body for the Metropolitan Police Service (the Met), MOPAC engages and consults with communities across London in a number of different ways to ensure the voices of Londoners directly inform this oversight. This includes supporting and facilitating opportunities for communities to review, monitor and provide feedback on how the police use their powers in the community setting.
Members of the public who volunteer to assist with this vital element of police oversight will need to be trained on a number of important facets of the role. Additionally, MOPAC needs to appoint an independent body to manage the volunteer cohort and ensure that the new model of Community Scrutiny in London runs smoothly.
The background section noted in each PMEQ provides more detail on the rationale for the new proposals.
MOPAC is at an early stage of design, hence the simultaneous publications of the two linked PMEQs. We need your help to develop ambitious and workable specifications for these elements, working with a limited timescale and a defined budget of £1.25m per year for the entire programme (so across these two elements plus a digital platform).
Please do take the time to complete either or both of these PMEQs depending on your area of interest and/or expertise. We are information-gathering, there are no wrong answers. Everything you can tell us will be helpful. Many thanks in advance.
