What is being bought

Published requirement description

To award a compliant contract for the provision of new Civil Enforcement Officers in order to meet the needs of the county to ensure the highway is managed effectively in accordance with published traffic regulation orders (TROs).

This is a well-established contract/service and though there may be a few small changes to the scope of the requirements, overall this will be to procure the same services.

Estimated value of contract: £10million if the contract runs for its full terms. There is scope as allowed that this value could increase to £12 million. However, this is only headroom if other public bodies within the County request the Authority to provide services.

The duration being 5 years + 5 years or to the maximum budget

  • Recurrence: The Authority will be considering a new contract for similar service to this following the initial contract term of this new contract or when the extensions have been used.
