Summary of the contracting process

Newark and Sherwood District Council procured environmental enforcement services across the Newark and Sherwood borough. The service is intended to improve environmental standards and reduce anti-social behaviour through effective enforcement of fixed penalty notices in accordance with applicable laws. The requirement is a public service covering borough-wide environmental enforcement activity, including environmental management services. Welland Procurement managed the procurement for the Council. Delivery is associated with the Newark and Sherwood area in the East Midlands. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement involved one requirement rather than separate service lots, focused on providing enforcement activity and supporting the Council’s environmental standards and anti-social behaviour objectives.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards under one requirement, following a below-threshold open competition. Three bids were received, all from SMEs. CHASE SERVICES GROUP LTD was awarded £496,755 excluding VAT (£596,106 including VAT) on 6 June 2025, for a contract running from 1 August 2025 to 31 July 2027, with an extension option to 31 July 2029. 3GS (UK) LIMITED was awarded £24,837.75 excluding VAT (£25,334 including VAT) on 7 August 2026, for a contract from 1 September 2026 to 31 October 2027, with an extension option to 31 October 2028. Evaluation weighted quality at 80% and revenue to the Council at 20%.

This procurement indicates demand from Newark and Sherwood District Council for suppliers able to deliver environmental enforcement across a whole borough, improve environmental standards and address anti-social behaviour. Credible competitors would need operational capability to enforce fixed penalty notices, understand and apply the relevant laws, and provide reliable services across multiple locations. The strong emphasis on quality means bidders would need to demonstrate a robust delivery model, suitably trained enforcement personnel, effective case management and evidence of consistent service performance. The revenue-to-Council element also indicates that suppliers should understand how enforcement activity can generate income for the authority. The requirement’s SME suitability shows that specialist smaller providers can compete where they have the necessary capacity, compliance arrangements and environmental enforcement experience.
