Decision details

The Council’s Parking Enforcement Services contract (Lots 1 and 2) was awarded in 2018 for a 5-year period (expiry in March 2023) with the option to extend for up to a further 5-years. In early 2023 the contract was extended for a period of 2-years. There is provision within the terms of the current contract to make a further six-month extension.

To extend the current contract for Parking Enforcement Services (Lots 1 and 2) with SABA Park Services Ltd for a period of six-months (April 2025 to September 2025) when the current contract ends in March 2025.

Option 1 - Continuing with the procurement exercise on the original timetable – this was rejected for the reasons outlined in the risk section of this document.
Option 2 - Extend the existing contract with SABA Park Services Ltd. for a period of twelve months (1 April 2025 until 31 March 2026) but with the ability to give a three month notice to terminate from the 1 October 2025 onwards – this was rejected on the basis that the revised timetable with a six-month extension allows adequate time to undertake a robust procurement exercise.
