Description
Birmingham City Council wishes to establish a framework agreement for the provision of Fixed Penalty Enforcement Officers.
There is a requirement for a fixed penalty enforcement service to issue Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) for various criminal offences, including:
• Littering
• Fly-tipping
• Failure to comply with commercial waste disposal regulations
• Breaches of the Council’s Public Space Protection Orders (e.g. dog fouling, city centre noise)
• Smoking in designated smoke-free areas
The contract involves providing trained and experienced enforcement officers, along with the necessary IT equipment and back-office systems. These systems must support the full FPN process, including issuing notices, managing payments, and preparing prosecution files and evidence to meet legal standards.
Additionally, the contractor is expected to support patrols aimed at addressing low-level anti-social behaviour and contribute to initiatives that enhance the visitor experience in the city.
The framework agreement will commence on 11th May 2026 and will be in place for a period of 4 years.
The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
