The Authority has been responsible for Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (now known as "Civil Parking Enforcement") since taking over powers from the Police in September 2000. The Traffic Management Act 2004 (the "TMA") makes provision for engaging Certificated Bailiffs (now known as Enforcement Agents) to collect outstanding debts in relation to Penalty Charge Notices ("PCN") from Civil Parking Enforcement. The Authority is, therefore, seeking suitable Certificated Enforcement Agents to enforce unpaid PCNs on its behalf (the "Services") The Services will only be used when all stages of the legislation of the Traffic Management Act 2004 have been exhausted and the penalty charge notice is still outstanding. The Authority's approach to debt recovery is "firm, but fair". ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1fdced2-56c9-4489-a967-66cb06054369 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Sep 2020 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Dec 2020 - 2 Dec 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE BOROUGH COUNCIL OF BOLTON | | Locality | BOLTON | | Post town | Bolton | | Postcode | BL1 1RU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD36 Greater Manchester North West | | Local authority | Bolton | | Electoral ward | Queens Park & Central | | Westminster constituency | Bolton North East | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75242110 - Bailiff services - 98351110 - Parking enforcement services ## Release History - 25 Sep 2020 at 15:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1fdced2-56c9-4489-a967-66cb06054369 - 17 Sep 2020 at 11:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66a77954-0fbc-4a60-a677-efa428b5dc67 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1fdced2-56c9-4489-a967-66cb06054369 25th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/66a77954-0fbc-4a60-a677-efa428b5dc67 17th September 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7185fef4-d7f8-ea11-8105-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21 Link to the Opportunity ## Notice URLs - http://www.bolton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
