Notice Title

Enforcement Agents

Notice Description

The scope of the contract is to provide an enforcement service to take all necessary steps to collect unpaid Business Rates, Business Improvement Levy, Council Tax and unpaid Parking and Traffic warrants. There is also an option to extend the service to other debt types such as commercial rent, unpaid housing rent, and unpaid miscellaneous income debts. The scope of the contract is further detailed in the Specification document. It is the City's intention to award contracts to the three top ranked bidders with the highest overall tender scores. The City's Revenue's team will work directly with the top two, and the 3rd placed bidder will be reserve supplier (used on a contingency basis), dependent on volume and performance of the top two. The City's Parking Ticket team will work directly with each of the top 3 bidders. For the call-off process relating to the distribution of work across successful bidders, please see Appendix D of the service specification - Tender Specification document. Parking enforcement will award cases equaling all three of the top scoring bidders. This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal' (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free. The estimated contract value given at sections 31 and 32 is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS6,518,000.
