Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Negotiated without a prior call for competition

  • The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
    • absence of competition for technical reasons

Explanation:

Flowbird Parking Machines that the Council purchased require the Smartfolio back office system as this is the only system that integrates with the Flowbird machines and therefore they are the only provider able to meet this requirement. For as long as the parking machines are in use we will require access to this system which is why the end date is 31/03/2028 as it is anticipated that the Council will have a different approach/situation before this date and it is expected that a review of the Council’s ticket machine requirements will take place well in advance of 31/03/2028.
