This is a service concessions contract. Interested providers are invited to submit a Soft Market Test (SMT) Questionnaire (Appendix 1 - included in the Market Engagement pack and uploaded on to www.londontenders.org). This should be completed and submitted to the Council by 12:00 noon on 9th December 2022 The main objective is to bring about an improvement to the borough's street scene, contributing to a "Cleaner, Greener Enfield," through a reduction in "Environmental Offences" via the service of Fixed Penalty Notices (FPN) for different type of offences. The purpose of this initial engagement phase is to help inform the Council's options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this Market Engagement is intended as an awareness/information gathering exercise only and is not a call for competition, is not a pre-qualification process and is not the start of a formal procurement exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement/discovery exercise shall not prevent any potential provider participating in, nor shall it place any potential provider at an advantage in any future procurement opportunity. Any future procurement opportunity could be published early next year (2023). However, this timeframe is indicative only and the Council reserves the right to reschedule any forthcoming publication at any time. Participants must also know that they should cover their own cost of participating in this market engagement and the Council is not liable for any cost incurred due to potential provider's participation in the exercise.
