Parking Enforcement Contract for the London Borough of Waltham Forest

The London Borough of Waltham Forest invites suitably qualified and experienced organisations to Tender for the Contract for the Provision of Parking Enforcement and Related Services in the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

The Contract will commence on 1st January 2020 and, subject to satisfactory performance, shall continue up to and including 31st December 2025. At the sole discretion of the Authority the Contract Period may be extended in two year periods as the Authority deems appropriate up to a maximum of four years, providing a possible total Contract Period to midnight on 31st December 2029.

The Contract relates to the enforcement of on and off-street parking places, waiting and loading restrictions and other restrictions across the whole of the Borough by the issuing of Penalty Charge Notices by Civil Enforcement Officers, together with a range of associated services including the processing of notices; provision of enforcement agent services; enforcement using mobile camera cars; enforcement of moving traffic contraventions; management and maintenance of pay & display machines; car park maintenance; and the provision of a removals, storage, release and relocation service. Full details of the scope and requirements are included within the Tender documents.

Tenderers shall be experienced in providing similar services and shall also be required, as part of their Tender, to complete a standard Selection Questionnaire (Minimum Standards) containing information about their economic and financial standing, technical capability and other general information. This information will be assessed to establish that the Tenderer is financially viable and technically capable of undertaking a contract of this nature. Tenderers shall be aware that as a pre-condition to their Tenders being evaluated, they will have to satisfy the Authority's minimum financial standing requirements together with the mandatory and discretionary grounds for exclusion each as detailed more fully in the Selection Questionnaire.

The Authority shall only evaluate tenders submitted by those organisations whose annual turnover is £6,216,000 or above.

The Authority considers that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 as amended by the Collective Redundancies and Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (Amendment) Regulations 2014 ("TUPE") are likely to apply to the Contract. Organisations will be required to comply with their obligations under TUPE and to do so within the submitted Annual Contract Sum.
