Background:

The report sought permission to award the procurement of the Street Scene Enforcement Contract.

The report explained that Medway had sought to reprocure a nil cost street scene enforcement contract with the result being a financial income to the Council. This would heavily depend on the attraction of the area as well as the number of successful tickets issued and paid.

The previous Street Scene Enforcement contract had lapsed and with a new incumbent it was imperative to have little gap in the enforcement of the contract. With reference to an example of the previous contractor issuing multiple fines at a particular location (M2 Services), it was noted during the discussion that contract monitoring would be undertaken to ensure that the contractor carried out enforcement across Medway.

An Exempt Appendix 1 to the report provided a breakdown of the financial analysis in respect of this procurement project.

Reasons:

Waste Investigation Support & Enforcement Limited provided the only viable tender, with a financial plan that supported the sustainability & returnable sum required by Medway Council.
