The Committee were advised that the existing Car Park Management System in Elmsleigh Car Park was no longer reliable and also no longer financially viable due to the costs of repairs.

The new proposed system would be fully ticketless as it would be based on camera recognition of the car registration at entry and exit points. It is planned that there would be 5 payment terminals that would be card payment only and 2 that would be card or cash payment. Customers would also have the option to pay via a parking app on their phones.

Concerns were expressed about accessibility to the payment terminals for disabled users. The Committee were advised that the proposed new system would enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of the car parking system for all users.

The Committee resolved to:

1.    Approve the tender award as set out in this report; and

2.    Delegate authority to the Group Head of Corporate Governance to enter into necessary legal documentation to formalise the appointment of the preferred contractor.
