Decision details
Approval of Environmental Services capital projects for inclusion in the capital programme
Decision Maker: Cabinet Single-Member Decision
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
The Environmental Services capital programme for 10/11 has been further developed and permission is now sought to procure the following items:
a) A new Permit Management System (PMS) (Parking Services)
b) Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems for Charlotte Street and Avon Street Car Parks (Parking Services)
c) Wheeled compaction equipment (Waste Services)
Decision:
The Cabinet Member agrees that tenders are invited for the following items and approve 10/11 Capital Programme allocations funded by service supported borrowing:
a) A new Permit Management System and Automatic Number Plate Systems for Charlotte and Avon Street Car Parks - £351K
b) Wheeled waste compaction equipment - £136K
That the outcome of the tender for award be an Officer Delegated Decision
Reasons for the decision:
Each of these schemes provides clear business benefits to the Council. A competitive procurement will ensure the maximum number of suppliers have the opportunity to tender and thus maximise the benefits to the Authority.
Alternative options considered:
An individual supplier solution was explored for the Parking Services schemes, however this was discounted in favour of the competitive market.
Retaining existing plant and equipment at the Old Welton Recycling Centre to load and compact containers would not be as efficient as procuring the proposed new equipment which will give operational efficiency savings.
