HCC – 04/21 – The Provision of Covid Marshalls

Hertfordshire County Council will be looking for a provider to supply 60 COVID Marshals to 10 districts throughout the County. Our vision for our COVID Marshal programme is to continue the service delivery to the residents of Hertfordshire from 1st July 2021, that Hertfordshire County Council implemented in Nov 2020. This will be in complement to the recovery of Hertfordshire from COVID-19 and there are some practical activities that we are keen to carry on throughout this programme of COVID Marshals;

i) Provide practical support to aid and encourage compliance, such as dedicated staff in public areas, business support, or support for individuals:

a) this can be collated through an intelligence led approach

ii) Introduce measures to aid public and business awareness and understanding of regulations and guidance:

a) dissemination of the COVID-19 guidance, including where additional local restrictions are in place.
b) engagement or tailored communications to sectors or groups.

This COVID Marshal Programme will be unable to be split into Lots as we require continuity over the whole COVID Marshal scheme and any single Lot may incur a higher rate of charges due the requirement of individual managers rather than one manager looking after 3/ districts.
