Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney is procuring vehicle removal and car pound services in Hackney. The requirement supports the statutory removal of vehicles parked in contravention, nuisance vehicles and associated disposal processes under the Traffic Management Act 2004 and the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978. It is divided into two service areas: setting up and operating a secure car pound, and removing and scrapping vehicles, including the specialist equipment and drivers needed for that work. The procurement is primarily for services, with associated site preparation works. Delivery is in Hackney, including operation of the car pound and vehicle removal activities within the borough. The requirement also allows for possible relocation of the car pound to another site in Hackney if major regeneration or transport works affect the original location.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 24 July 2026 at 12 noon, and the tender submission deadline was 13 August 2026 at 12 noon. The anticipated award decision was due by 5 October 2026. Lot 1 is planned from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2031, with possible renewal described as five years plus three years plus two years; its estimated value is £1,225,000 excluding VAT (£1,470,000 including VAT). Lot 2 is planned from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with the same renewal structure; its estimated value is £8,105,000 excluding VAT (£9,726,000 including VAT). The overall estimate is £9,330,000 excluding VAT (£11,196,000 including VAT). Evaluation is 60% quality, including 15% social value, and 40% price.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises with experience in vehicle recovery, secure vehicle storage, car-pound management, vehicle dismantling or authorised scrapping. Lot 1 is suited to an operator able to establish and run a secure, compliant pound, including site preparation, operational systems, storage controls and arrangements for changing or relocating the facility if required. Lot 2 suits vehicle-removal and end-of-life vehicle specialists with suitable recovery equipment, qualified or appropriately experienced drivers, and the capacity to manage collection, storage, processing and scrapping at the required scale. Suppliers should be able to operate within statutory and regulatory requirements, manage compliant removal and disposal processes, and demonstrate reliable service delivery. Strong quality and social-value proposals will be important because quality carries greater weight than price.
