Decision details

1.    To note that Appendix 1 is not for publication on the basis that it contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information) as set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 12A of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).

2.    To direct award the Suspensions system contract to Farthest Gate Limited through the G-Cloud 13 framework for a new parking suspension system. The new contract would be for 2 years with two optional 1-year extensions. The contract cost will be £145k in the first year and then £65k per annum. This results in a total contract value of £340k. The contract will run not including extensions from May 2024 to May 2026

A new parking suspension system will contribute to streamlining current processes. The existing contract is also coming to the end of life so this award acts as risk mitigation.

An attempt to carry out a full tender has been completed by the service but was unable to source any suitable contractors. The new proposal is to directly award this contract through the Crown Commercial Services G-Cloud 13 framework.
