Decisions:

Exempt report of the Corporate Director (Resources, Environment and Cultural Services) on the award of contract for the supply and installation of car park machines, together with an exempt Addendum report following the meeting of the Parking Enforcement and Management Board on 1 July 2019 unanimously recommending to the Cabinet the award of contract to Flowbird Smart City UK Limited (Flowbird).

 

(1)        The Decision Taken

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the contract for the supply and installation of car park machines be awarded to Flowbird Smart City UK Limited (Flowbird).

 

(2)        Reasons for the Decision

 

A Parking Enforcement and Management Contracts Procurement Board was set up to explore the introduction of a new parking management system to replace the current Automatic Number Plate Recognition system.  The reason for the change was that the current contract was coming to an end in September 2019 and the machines and equipment were at the end of their useful economic life. 

 

The Board met on a number of occasions to consider the type of parking management system and recommended to the Cabinet the outcome of the tender exercise.

 

(Note: The Chairman of the Environment Overview and Scrutiny Committee had been given notice that it was impracticable to comply with the requirement that at least twenty eight days notice must be given of the intention to make a key decision on the Forward Plan in the private section of the meeting in accordance with Regulations 5 and 10 of the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012 because it was urgent and could not reasonably be deferred for the reason specified).

 

(1)        The reason for this item was to enable the award of contract to be made.
