Description

Wirral Council is tendering for the provision of an Environmental Enforcement Contract. Wirral organises its work into four lots of geographical areas however compliance with this is not a requirement of this contract and bidders should primarily demonstrate how the Council's corporate vision and outcomes will be delivered through the provision of this service.

Wirral Council is inviting tender responses for a suitably experienced and qualified Service Provider with a proven track record of delivering fixed penalty notices in respect of environmental crime and that can provide an outcome driven solution to work in partnership with the Council to provide Environmental Enforcement Services.

Environmental Crime can affect the quality of the local environment and has an impact on how places look and are perceived. For example a poor quality local environment can also have wider impacts such as public health and contribute to a decline in community spirit and decreased property values.

This contract will require the Service Provider to provide a team of experienced and competent staff to deliver first class, zero tolerance environmental crime enforcement across Wirral. The primary outcomes are to engender behavioural change and deliver an attractive local environment.

The Service Provider will be required to prepare case files and prosecution evidence on behalf of the Council in the event of none payment of fixed penalty notices (FPN's) or in the event of an offence which would not warrant the issue of a FPN.

The scope of the Services may be varied by mutual agreement within the contract period to include offences covered by other relevant legislation, where the issuing of fixed penalties and associated warnings are permitted or where additional works are required to support the achievement of the outcomes.
Owing to the size/nature of the services, IT compatibility and to help ensure the best service continuity, the authority has decided not to subdivide the contract services into Lots.
