Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow is in the planning stages of re-procuring its Environmental Enforcement Contract. This contract involves the provision of services for issuing Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) within the borough, addressing littering and public spaces protection orders. The project, valued at £3,000,000, falls under the services category, specifically focusing on environmental protection. Located in the UKI74 region, the contract is set to commence on 1st July 2026 with a planned duration of two years, extendable to a maximum of 2030. Key dates include a future notice for the tender expected by 24th November 2025, and the actual tender process is anticipated to begin in early January 2026 through an open procedure.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for service providers experienced in environmental enforcement, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering effective public space protection services. Engaging in this contract would not only enhance the service provider's portfolio but would also facilitate market exposure by participating in a high-value public sector project. Businesses with expertise in environmental protection and those adapting to digital submission practices will find this opportunity particularly suitable, given the electronic submission provision and the strategic objective to involve and support SME companies throughout the tendering process.
