Title attributed to the contract: PROVISION OF CONFLICT MANAGEMENT SERVICE
Description:
The Authority as the contracting authority is tendering for the Provision of Conflict Management Services. The MPS/Authority is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract with a suitably capable Bidder to provide these Services for a term of 24 months. Following a significant increase in serious youth violence and murders, frequently associated with gang issues, the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) developed a number of new approaches to preventing this situation from escalating further. The MPS seeks to procure a service provider for the delivery of high-risk conflict resolution/management services in London. The service provider must demonstrate a proven track record of the provision of conflict management or a similar field. Conflict management is an intervention tactic that aims to reduce gang related violence between individuals. The aim of the intervention is to reduce violence by overseeing and assisting communication between one or more conflicting parties. Conflict management is undertaken to remove threats of violence; in cases where there is a Threat to Life and where serious group offending is known or suspected to exist. Each case referred to the service provider will be unique; however an example could be that a member of gang A has a disagreement with a member of gang B. It comes to the attention of police or a local authority that the member of gang A is actively seeking a violent outcome to the disagreement and that the likely result is the use of serious violence. On receipt of this information, the MPS will make a referral (via secure server email) to the conflict management service provider who will subsequently mediate between the conflicting parties with a view to achieving a reduction in hostilities
