Agenda item

The Executive RESOLVED that an Invitation to Tender be issued for a new ANPR car park control and management system for Main Square and Knoll Road multi-storey car parks in February 2023.

The Executive was informed that that a new car park control and management system would need to be procured and installed by 2 June 2024. The current automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) car park control and management system had been installed on 2 June 2014 with a maximum contract for maintenance and software support of 10 years. The planned timetable for the procurement process and selection of a new contractor was noted.

Members discussed the report and emphasised a need to retain payment options for members of the public without access to mobile phone technology, including cash payment facilities. It was also advised that, whilst the technology for introducing varied charging for different sections of the car park might not yet be fully available and potentially expensive to implement, opportunities for further exploring this would be included in the procurement process.
