Purpose:

Content: RESOLVED   i)               That the award of the Parking Enforcement Agents contracts to the companies named in Appendix A and on the terms contained in that Appendix be approved; and   ii)              To delegate authority to the Director of Resources in consultation with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services to finalise the terms and conditions of and enter into the contracts (including any applicable extension periods, subject to budgetary requirements).   REASON   To facilitate the award of the Parking Enforcement Agents contracts to the relevant bidders.   ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS CONSIDERED BUT REJECTED AS IDENTIFIED IN THE REPORT   We could continue this service under rolling SLAs; however, this would prevent us from testing the market, exploring potential advancements in debt collection methods since our last tender, and taking the opportunity to increase revenue for the Council.
