Parking Enforcement Contract Procurement - Authority to proceed to tender New!

Decision maker:  Executive Member for Environmental Sustainability

Decision:   14 Feb 2025

Lead officer:  Dominique Kingsbury

Decision status:  Recommendations Approved

Notice of proposed decision first published: 07/02/2025

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
Significant time and resource has been expended on preparing the tender documentation for the procurement of a new Parking Enforcement Contract under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (the 2015 Regulations). The Procurement Act 2023 will take effect on 24 February 2025 and replace the 2015 Regulations. Publication under regulation 9 would mean the procurement has to be launched under the new legislation and result in the Council needing to re-write the tender documentation and incurring additional expense with its parking consultant. This would have an adverse effect on tender timelines and contract mobilisation and is therefore considered impracticable.
