Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) - Market Engagement on Precise Police Initiatives
11am – 12pm7 August 2025
Online
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) invites interested suppliers and technology partners to participate in a market engagement webinar focused on upcoming Precise Policing Initiatives. This session will provide an overview of planned innovation pilots aimed at supporting front-line and operational officers through smarter use of data, digital workflows, and modern technologies.
The goal of these initiatives is to deliver fully functional, tested, and cost-effective pilots within a 6-month window, helping shape the future of digital policing.
What is Precise Policing?
Accelerating how we operationally test and then deliver technology and data products to frontline officers.
Bringing together a new delivery model, new procurement framework, new ways of working and rapid prototyping to work on a series of prioritised initiatives.
Supporting our mission under A New Met for London to build More Trust, Less Crime, and Higher Standards.
Key Areas of Focus
This engagement will explore opportunities across four key areas:
1. Data Intelligence
Understanding whether the latest analytical engines can enhance the value of data within our operational systems, analyse and make sense across multiple data types and data points to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
2. Situational Awareness
Define situational awareness in the context of operational policing eg: neighbourhoods, response etc.
Providing officers with enhanced location-based information to enable us to better detect and deter crime and support communities
Provide officers and staff with reactive intelligence to enable better responses to incidents and assessment of risk
Support our officers to prioritise their activity for maximum benefit: where should I patrol, where are the vulnerable people, where are the last known addresses of wanted offenders
3. Digital Workflow
A modern range of smartphone applications to streamline data capture, processing and workflow over existing POLE (Person, Object, Location, Event) datasets
4. Digital Evidence Management
Improved end to end Digital Evidence Management (DEMS), including enhancing video ingestion, metadata capture and video searching/analytics,
Who are we looking for?
The MPS is keen to work with a broad spectrum of suppliers but the main strengths are:
An established UK presence and who host services in UK datacentres. All MPS data is subject to stringent security controls, so no part of an end-to-end service or process can take place overseas.
Experience in ‘big data’ – the ability to take disparate data sets and add value through application of cutting edge analytical tools
A tech-focus with experience in rapid testing and rapid set-up. The MPS is not looking for large scale business change or extensive training programmes. We want focused, dynamic testing of new technology.
An existing technology. The MPS wants to rapidly test (and perhaps rapidly fail) new technologies. Precise Policing is not about the slow incremental development of a new solution or new capability.
Technology that makes significant efficiencies. Only significantly beneficial technology will be adopted for full rollout
Suppliers who are vetted, or can be confident that vetting will not be a problem for anyone they assign to a Precise Policing initiative
