This notice describes the award of contract for the Environmental Enforcement Service to Kingdom Services Group Ltd (Kingdom) for a period of three years followed by the option of one extension of two years in length for an estimated total revenue value of £5,000,000. The service has been tendered using a revenue sharing model which will generate income for the Council and work on a cost neutral basis.

Kingdom’s tender described a well-trained and motivated service that will tackle enforcement in a community informed way with a diverse, Camden recruited, workforce to match Camden’s diverse communities. Their tender described a service with procedures to ensure continual improvement and a well-equipped service that will promote quality e.g. all staff will wear body cameras to record their interactions with the public. The tenderer also demonstrated their commitment to Social Value by promising to deliver three apprenticeships over the lifetime of the contract.

The main objective of the procurement was to procure a cost neutral Environmental Enforcement service based on a revenue sharing model. A one stage “Open” procurement was used. Tendering organisations were first assessed against the Standard Questionnaire (SQ) that checks organisational capacity, relevant experience, approach to equality and diversity. Tenderers that passed all relevant areas of the SQ were then evaluated against published quality criteria. Kingdom Services Group was the highest scoring tender and so was awarded the contract.
