Summary of the contracting process

West Berkshire Council is seeking ongoing support and maintenance for its existing parking management information system, Chipside, under the contract titled "Parking and traffic management system - hardware and software support". This procurement falls under the services industry category and is classified as software support services. The procurement method employed is limited, specifically negotiated without publication of a contract notice, to ensure continuity with the current system. The contract was signed on 21 March 2022 and will run until 2 February 2025, covering operations within the UK.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in software support services, particularly those with a focus on municipal management systems. Given that the licensing and support for the Chipside system can only be maintained by the original supplier, Chipside Ltd, there are opportunities for companies well-versed in similar proprietary software to explore partnerships or extensions of service offerings in public sector contracts. Suppliers with experience in parking enforcement and associated software solutions will be particularly well-suited to engage with the council's ongoing requirements and future innovations in this domain.
