## Summary

Colchester Borough Council procured enforcement and debt collection services, classified as parking enforcement services (CPV 98351110). The requirement covers enforcement-agent activity and associated debt collection for the council. Delivery is in the East of England, with the council based in Colchester. This is a public-sector services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The procurement was intended for suppliers able to undertake enforcement work and recover debts on the council’s behalf. The awarded suppliers were Rundle & Co. Ltd, Equita Ltd and Hambury Tilmond Ltd. The contracting authority is Colchester Borough Council, whose address is Rowan House, 33 Sheepen Road, Colchester, CO3 3WG.

The procurement has been awarded and is recorded as complete. The award was made on 16 September 2026 to three suppliers: Rundle & Co. Ltd, Equita Ltd and Hambury Tilmond Ltd. The award value is recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. Bids had to be submitted by 19 June 2026. The procurement used a tender process for services, and the tender record gives the procurement method details as “Not specified”. The contract is presented as a multi-supplier award rather than a single-provider appointment. The published outcome identifies all three suppliers as active award recipients for the enforcement and debt collection requirement.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for firms tracking Colchester Borough Council’s enforcement requirements. A credible future competitor would need a proven ability to deliver enforcement-agent and debt collection services, with particular relevance to parking enforcement. The requirement was awarded to three suppliers, indicating that the council can use a multi-supplier model rather than relying on one provider. Suppliers should therefore be able to operate as part of a shared delivery arrangement and demonstrate dependable coverage across the East of England. The buyer’s stated scope points to businesses with established enforcement operations, debt recovery capability and the organisational capacity to manage public-sector casework at scale.
