    "description": "This soft market testing exercise concerns the renewal of an innovative joint contract for environmental enforcement.\nHarrow, Hounslow and Ealing councils have joined together to deliver a more efficient service, widening the scope of environmental enforcement activity, sharing of overhead costs, expertise and allowing greater flexibility.\nThis contract is for the provision of Enforcement Services by way of the issue of fixed penalty notices in respect of a range of environmental and highways related enforcement legislation including but not limited to the:\n•\tEnvironmental Protection Act 1990;\n•\tClean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005;\n•\tDogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1990 and 1996;\n•\tAnti-Social Behaviour Act 2003;\n•\tRefuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978 and 1987\n•\tAnti-social behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014;\n•\tHighways Act 1980\n•\tLondon Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003\n•\tTown and Country Planning Act 1990\n•\tIn 2016/17, over 20,000 fixed penalties were issued for littering and fly tipping across the participating borough areas.\nIn the latest iteration of the contract the activity rate has risen to between 600 and 800 fixed penalty notices paid per month.\nThe proposed competitive procedure with negotiation procurement will involve a contractual structure which will allow other Councils and public bodies to join the joint arrangement.\nThe Councils are keen to include some important, but peripheral activities, in the scope of the procurement including security and traffic direction. For these activities there will be a reimbursement mechanism per hour or per day as appropriate.\nThe Councils have clear requirements for how vulnerable adults would be treated and in particular fixed penalty notices should not be served on minors.\nAreas for discussion\nThe Councils would like to explore with suppliers the following aspects of this significant and imminent procurement:-\nPayment mechanism for the contract\nAffordability thresholds\nProcurement route\nContract structure\no\tRisk partition\nPerformance monitoring and enhancement\nOptimal contract term\nExpansion of client base\nExpansion of the service base\nTechnology renewal with time\no\tWhat is the current envelope for reliable, innovative technology?\nSocial value\no\tWhat metrics and KPIs to apply?\n\tHow to catalyse benefits in education, employment and skills?\nTUPE indemnification\nThe robust rejection of non- economically sustainable tenders\nMobilisation and service set up\no\tHow much time do you need to mobilise?\nApplying\nIf you would like to see us to discuss this opportunity please write in no more    than 1000 words describing your interest in the procurement, your past experience in the field and the points you would like to discuss.\nSoft market testing is planned to take place on the 23rd and 24th January 2023 in Ealing. Each party would have 3 hours with a common agenda and meeting will be held in Perceval House, Ealing Broadway, 14-16 Uxbridge Rd, London W5 2HL.\nThe Council will keep confidential any aspects of the discussion flagged as such by participants in the soft market testing process.\nIf you are not seen please rest assured this will not disadvantage you in the forthcoming formal procurement. All parties which express an interest will receive anonymised feedback from the soft market testing event before the Find a Tender Service notice is published (marking the start of the formal procurement procedure)\nPlease make your return via the London Tenders Portal for this opportunity by the 6th January 2023.",
