London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the “Council”) is seeking feedback from suitably qualified and experienced environmental enforcement providers to inform the procurement of an Environmental Enforcement Agency service. The service will support the Council’s Law Enforcement Team (LET) through the targeted enforcement of environmental offences across highways, parks, and open spaces including littering, highway obstructions, and Responsible Dog Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) offences. The provider will supply trained, uniformed enforcement officers operating across London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) to address priority issues identified by the Council, issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs), undertake public engagement activities, manage initial complaints, and prepare prosecution case files where required. The proposed contract term is two years with the option to extend for up to a further two years. The Council currently intends to procure the service on the basis of a revenue-sharing model, under which the provider will bear the operational costs of service delivery, and the Council will receive a share of the income generated from paid FPNs. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise is being undertaken to enable the Council to receive views from the market on: 1. What information, requirements, or elements of the procurement the market would require in any procurement documents published, to enable submission of a strong and competitive bid; 2. The Council’s proposed revenue share model and the approach the Council should adopt to its commercial (price) assessment, what alternative options might be beneficial, and the reasons for this; and 3. What details the Council should assess as part of its technical (quality) and commercial assessment as part of this procurement process.
