Decision

That the Contract for
Civil Enforcement System (Parking Notice and Permit Processing
System) be awarded to the successful Applicant as set out in Exempt
Appendix 1 to the submitted report.

Reasons for the decision

To ensure that the
Council can continue to issue parking penalty charge notices and
permits within Torbay.

Alternative options considered

There were two options considered:

 
Option 1 - award the
contract to the preferred supplier, identified following a
compliant procurement exercise, as the applicant who submitted the
most economically advantageous tender.  The contract would be for an initial period of
three years with three optional extensions of 12 months
each.

 
Option 2 - not to
award the contract, allow the current contract to expire leaving
the Council with no method to enforce parking restrictions across
Torbay or to issue permits.
