This procurement, which follows an open procedure, is intended to address parking violations by persistent offenders, as defined by having multiple unpaid penalty charge notices (PCNs). The contract period is set from 1 June 2019 to 31 May 2022, with an option for a two-year extension. The tender period concluded on 2 May 2019, and the contract value is estimated at £20,000, covering the complete duration including any potential extension. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in vehicle towing and related services, particularly those with experience in compliance with local regulations and safety measures. Businesses that can engage in the removal of vehicles in violation of parking regulations, including those that address fraudulent use of disabled parking permits, will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Companies operating within the South East region, particularly those familiar with working in a council environment, may particularly benefit from this opportunity. ## Notice The Isle of Wight Council ("the Authority") invites Quotes from suitably qualified suppliers ("Potential Suppliers") for the provision of vehicle removal services. A requirement has been identified for the Authority to take action against persistent evaders - a persistent evader is defined as where the registered keeper of a vehicle has three or more recorded contraventions and the PCNs are not paid, represented or appealed against within the statutory time limits; or their representations and appeals have been rejected but the penalty charge notices remain unpaid despite actions taken by enforcement agents. It is now Authority policy that a persistent evader's vehicle can be removed following the issue of a further penalty charge notice when parked in contravention of the Traffic Management Act 2004. There are currently a small number of vehicles which have many unpaid PCNs some have no registered keeper and continue to be issued with PCNs. In order to provide a degree of scale there are (as of January 2019) 34 vehicles with 10 or more outstanding PCNs. This situation causes concern for the safety of other highway users, including pedestrians and it also means that the Authority's normal debt recovery procedures cannot be implemented. Subsequently alternative measures are justified in an attempt to prevent further unsafe parking activities and to assist in the recovery of the debts. For the purposes of this quotation it is estimated that 5 vehicles will be removed per year. Whist the policy enables the removal of vehicles for other reasons it is proposed to effectively trial this for persistent evaders for 12 months; then, subject to review by Authority officers, extend this to the other categories of vehicles listed below:- * Fraudulent use of disabled persons' parking blue badges or an article that purports to be a disabled blue badge; * Parked in a disabled person's parking bay without displaying a disabled blue badge; * Parked using a fraudulent Isle of Wight Council permit, voucher, scratch card or pay and display parking ticket; inclusive of cashless parking sessions and virtual permits; * Parked in a manner that causes serious obstruction to emergency services and other road users. The term of the contract shall be 1 June 2019 until 31 May 2022 with the option to extend for up to a further 2 years at the sole discretion of the Authority. Additional information: Any values are estimated and are for the whole contract duration including any possible extension period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be3deae3-5ea7-436c-bb28-9eaa3c3e2ac1 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 2 May 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 May 2019 | | Contract period | 2 Jun 2019 - 31 May 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £20,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ISLE OF WIGHT COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWPORT | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO30 1UD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ3 Hampshire and Isle of Wight | | ITL 3 | TLJ34 Isle of Wight | | Local authority | Isle of Wight | | Electoral ward | Newport Central | | Westminster constituency | Isle of Wight West | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | D H PRICE MOTORS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 50118110 - Vehicle towing-away services - 50190000 - Demolition services of vehicles - 63121000 - Storage and retrieval services ## Release History - 27 Jun 2019 at 12:21 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be3deae3-5ea7-436c-bb28-9eaa3c3e2ac1 - 24 Apr 2019 at 11:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c28115f-712f-4981-948b-c44e4809f497 - 4 Apr 2019 at 14:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5500d928-7cf3-49f8-b7ed-9c7c7ef4fc11 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/be3deae3-5ea7-436c-bb28-9eaa3c3e2ac1 27th June 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7c28115f-712f-4981-948b-c44e4809f497 24th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5500d928-7cf3-49f8-b7ed-9c7c7ef4fc11 4th April 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7335b5aa-e056-e911-80f3-005056b64545&p=08800155-5442-e511-80ed-000c29c9ba21 Link to advert on ProContract ## Notice URLs - http://www.iwight.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
