This process involves contracts with certified Enforcement Agents to recover revenue from these unpaid charges. The procurement method is an open procedure under special concession regulations, with a contract period commencing on 8th April 2026 and concluding on 7th April 2028. The existing procurement status is complete, with the contracts signed on 8th April 2026. The services will be delivered primarily within the United Kingdom's UKD4 region. This contract offers significant business opportunities, particularly for certified enforcement agencies specialising in bailiff and parking enforcement services. The contract's estimated gross value is over £3 million per awarded supplier, making it an attractive growth opportunity for firms capable of extending services across underpaid PCN collection. Given the competitive open procurement method, both large enterprises and SMEs have a chance to secure substantial work, potentially boosting revenue and market presence in the enforcement services sector. Businesses that exhibit high efficiency in debt collection and have experience working with governmental bodies will likely find this contract particularly beneficial for expansion. ## Notice The Authority required contracts with two certified Enforcement Agents to deliver services to collect revenue from unpaid PCNs. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: After the initial contract term, the Authority may extend the Contract by any number of defined periods, provided that the total duration does not exceed four years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037139-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Oct 2025 | | Future notice date | 3 Jun 2025 | | Award date | 14 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | 7 Apr 2026 - 7 Apr 2028 | | Recurrence | 2029-03-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,232,800 | | Lots value | £6,232,800 | | Awards value | £3,116,400 | | Contracts value | £3,116,400 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LANCASHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | SOCIAL VALUE PORTAL LTD | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR1 0LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI45 Lambeth | | Local authority | Lambeth | | Electoral ward | Vauxhall | | Westminster constituency | Vauxhall and Camberwell Green | | Delivery location | TLD4 Lancashire | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 2 | | Supplier names | CDER GROUP; JACOBS ENFORCEMENT | ## 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 - 23 Apr 2026 at 13:33 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037139-2026 - 14 Jan 2026 at 18:17 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003285-2026 - 2 Oct 2025 at 08:41 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061544-2025 - 16 May 2025 at 08:28 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022020-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037139-2026 23rd April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/003285-2026 14th January 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061544-2025 2nd October 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022020-2025 16th May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/fusion-supplier-portal/ As per Appendix 2 of the tender pack - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14770 - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-14771 ## Notice URLs - http://www.cdergroup.co.uk - http://www.jacobsenforcement.com - https://www.lancashire.gov.uk/ - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.socialvalueportal.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
