Parking Enforcement Contract - 2 Year Extension

Decision Maker: Head of Strategic Finance and Property

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

To approve an extension to the parking enforcement contract between APCOA Parking UK Limited and East Herts District Council (over the initial 5 year term) by a further 2 years to end in January 2026.

Decision:

The Head of Strategic Finance & Property acting under Part 3C, paragraphs 8 and 8.3 and Part 4G - Financial Procedure Rules Scheme of Financial Delegations of the Constitution, has decided to approve the exercise of the option to extend the parking enforcement contract between APCOA Parking UK Limited and East Herts District Council by a further 2 years to end in January 2026.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Extend the contract term by 2 years to 15th January 2026 – RECOMMENDED
Option 2 - Cease contract - NOT RECOMMENDED
Ending the contract on 15th January 2024, in line with the initial 5 year timeline, creates risk and a high probability of increased contract expenditure, due to inflationary pressures, feeding into tender submissions.
