No. But it is not a difficult job. If there is not rotary shop withing a reasonable distance and don't have the tools or facilities to do it yourself, you could search on here and read about it and try to find a more general shop, see if you can talk to a mechanic and if they are willing to take some "direction" from you. If you don't like their attitude, I would leave and keep looking until I could find someone I could work with. Having an FD and hiring out all of the work without access to a rotary specialist, IMO you need to find a mechanic that is not only generally competent but interested in taking on the challenge of the FD and that you have a good rapport and interaction with.

There is a European regional section here, you could post in. Might be more likely to find someone familiar with London in that section.

Wow! I was making an assumption just from looking at things. Unfortunately my omp is seeping some oil.

From where exactly?

I can't tell but it looks like it is coming from that area and one of the wiring bundles from the OMP has a drop of oil hanging off of it. I just noticed it so I haven't had a chance to get a good look at it with surrounding parts removed.

It may just be a copper crush washer for one of the lines, or the large 'O' ring for the pump itself. A recent thread that in case you didn't see it that has some opinions and links if it ends up being a line...

Some people delet those also but you would have to add premix in your fuel tank every time u fill up.

One of the last posts also has a list of part numbers for the OEM OMP lines if that's the route one might want to go.
