Decision:
The purpose of the report was to seek approval of delegated authority to award the contract for pay and display machines for car parks.
The report was introduced by Councillor Tony Dale, Cabinet Member for Health, Culture and Visitor Experience who explained that the existing machines were increasingly outdated, required frequent maintenance, and were difficult for users, necessitating a full refresh of the parking estate. The tender process was outlined and it was noted that procurement was being accelerated to enable the timely replacement and operation of machines within the current budget year.
The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Tony Dale and seconded by Councillor Mike Evemy.
Cabinet RESOLVED to:
1. Delegate authority to the Section 151 Officer, in consultation with the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Health, Culture and Visitor Experience to award the contract for the supply, installation and on-going services to the most advantageous supplier.
