Purpose

The agreement covers the management by the supplier of payment to park in visitors parking spaces throughout the City of Westminster. The Council seeks to extend the current agreement by six months.

Decision

Summary of Decision

The Cabinet Member for City Management and Air Quality has approved the exercise of an option to extend by six months the contract with RingGo Limited for Cashless Parking from 1st April 2024 to 30th September 2024.

Reasons for Decision 

The contract extension is being sought because it will allow an appropriate period of time for the service to complete a full procurement with new contracts being procured to start from 1st October 2024, when this extension will expire. As the original approval sought for the award was not considerate of the banking charges that do feature within the current contract, Cabinet Member approval is being sought to ensure that appropriate governance levels are in place considering current contractual spend.
