UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham is exploring an Environmental Enforcement Agency service to support its Law Enforcement Team. The provider would deliver targeted enforcement of environmental offences across the borough’s highways, parks and open spaces, including littering, highway obstructions and Responsible Dog Public Space Protection Order offences. The service would supply trained, uniformed enforcement officers operating across Hammersmith and Fulham, issue Fixed Penalty Notices, carry out public engagement, manage initial complaints and prepare prosecution case files where required. This is an environmental enforcement and public protection service, classified under CPV 90000000 for sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services. The work would be delivered in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, within London.

This procurement is at the planning stage and the current exercise is preliminary market engagement, not an invitation to tender. The Council expects to procure one service, with an intended contract running from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028 and an option to extend to 30 November 2030. The published estimated value is £2,653,000 excluding VAT, or £3,183,600 including VAT. The Council currently intends to use a concession-style revenue-sharing model: the provider would bear operational delivery costs and the Council would receive a share of income from paid Fixed Penalty Notices. The Council expects to publish the next notice on 1 October 2026. Market participants are being asked for views on the specification, commercial model, price assessment and technical and quality evaluation.

The work is likely to suit small and medium-sized environmental enforcement, compliance, security or public protection providers with the capacity to operate across London. Relevant suppliers should be able to recruit, train, uniform and manage enforcement officers, deploy them across public spaces and address priority offences consistently. Experience in issuing Fixed Penalty Notices, engaging with the public, handling complaints and producing accurate prosecution case files would be valuable. Providers should also be prepared to operate a model in which they fund service delivery from operational resources while sharing income with the Council. The Council is seeking practical market insight on service design, delivery arrangements, commercial terms and the technical and quality requirements that would support a strong future bid.

Environmental Enforcement Agency

Notice Description

London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the "Council") is seeking feedback from suitably qualified and experienced environmental enforcement providers to inform the procurement of an Environmental Enforcement Agency service. The service will support the Council's Law Enforcement Team (LET) through the targeted enforcement of environmental offences across highways, parks, and open spaces including littering, highway obstructions, and Responsible Dog Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) offences. The provider will supply trained, uniformed enforcement officers operating across London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) to address priority issues identified by the Council, issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), undertake public engagement activities, manage initial complaints, and prepare prosecution case files where required. The proposed contract term is two years with the option to extend for up to a further two years. The Council currently intends to procure the service on the basis of a revenue-sharing model, under which the provider will bear the operational costs of service delivery, and the Council will receive a share of the income generated from paid FPNs. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise is being undertaken to enable the Council to receive views from the market on: 1. What information, requirements, or elements of the procurement the market would require in any procurement documents published, to enable submission of a strong and competitive bid; 2. The Council's proposed revenue share model and the approach the Council should adopt to its commercial (price) assessment, what alternative options might be beneficial, and the reasons for this; and 3. What details the Council should assess as part of its technical (quality) and commercial assessment as part of this procurement process.
