The procurement process has reached the Award stage as of 8th January 2025, following the publication and completion of the tender in mid-2024. The contract, valued at £1,000,000, was awarded to Kingdom Services Group Limited to cover services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract period extends from 1st January 2025 to 31st December 2027. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure adhering to the Concessions Contracts Regulations 2016, emphasising fairness and transparency. This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, principally for companies specialising in environmental enforcement and community services. SMEs stand to benefit significantly due to the scalability and flexibility aspects of the contract, which include potential expansions to patrol specified areas, waste management, and fly-tipping enforcement. Suitable businesses that can adapt to varying levels of service demand and legislative changes in environmental protection will find this opportunity promising. Organisations experienced in managing concession contracts and those capable of effectively generating and sharing income from Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) will be well-suited to compete for such opportunities. ## Notice West Northamptonshire Council wishes to invite tenders as a concession style contract for the supply of services to address environmental offences focussing on littering, fly posting, Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) breaches and other environmental offences within the whole of West Northamptonshire. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. It is an income contract with no cost to the Council and is below the relevant procurement threshold. While the Council has decided to advertise on a voluntary basis, this does not represent a commitment to follow the official procurement procedure but will preserve the principles of fairness, transparency and act in a proportionate manner. Environmental crime offences are committed daily by members of the public throughout the whole of West Northamptonshire. The offences, which include littering and offences against the current Public Spaces Protection Orders (dogs) are enforced by a small team of Neighbourhood Wardens and are complemented by a current external enforcement contract held by a third party. The contract will be provided on a no cost (concession) basis to support environmental crime work across the whole of West Northants, including enforcing the recently implemented Public Spaces Protection Orders. The successful Supplier will provide the Council with an agreed share of the income (the 'Concession Fee') from paid FPN's. The agreed share will be as per the percentage submission detailed in the tender response. The nature of this model means the Contract is 'scalable' and could be expanded if required with no financial cost to the Council. The contract will allow the option to expand the Services for example to include patrols in specified areas, waste and fly tipping enforcement and such other areas of enforcement. Further, the Contractor shall be aware that the Service could be reduced if the rate of issue of FPNs declines for any reason. Any amendments to the Services will be as specified by the Council and agreed by the contractor. The Services are to be managed in a flexible manner in order to respond to specific demands of the Council and changes to legislation or other guidance as appropriate. Full details relating to the Services are provided in the tender documents. Variant bids not offered. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) may apply to this opportunity. The contract start date is anticipated to be 7th December 2024 for an initial period of 3 years (36 months) with the preferred Potential Supplier, with an option to extend for a further period or periods up to a maximum of 2 years in 12 month increments(3+1+1) making 60 months in total. Such extension will be at the Authority's discretion, after discussion with the contractor. If your organisation wishes to participate in this process, you need to register with In-Tend Portal. Yo...
