My Ends 3.0 Programme

The 2027‑2029 procurement invites community‑based organisations or consortiums to deliver an expanded version of the MyEnds violence‑prevention programme, known as MyEnds 3.0, across sixteen London boroughs that rank in the top 15 % for violence and public health indicators. The programme builds on a hyper‑local model that empowers neighbourhood stakeholders through partnership strengthening, youth participation, capacity building of grassroots actors, and locally informed interventions. Services will be deployed in a coordinated manner to provide parents and carers with support networks, after‑school activities, youth club work, mentoring, and targeted support interventions, all designed to prevent violence at the community level.

The contracting authority, the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime, requires bidders to demonstrate evidence of local need within the designated wards and to operate using the refreshed VRU Area Prioritisation Tool that incorporates the latest data and metrics from 2021‑2026. Bidders must be able to deliver the comprehensive intervention strands outlined above, ensuring that community empowerment and strategic alignment are central to all activities. The engagement will be evaluated primarily on technical quality, the effectiveness of the proposed community engagement model, and the demonstrable alignment with the updated prioritisation tool.

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.
