Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras for Ellesmere Port. The requirement is classified as goods and includes speed camera equipment. The equipment is intended for delivery and use in Ellesmere Port, supporting the council’s local traffic monitoring and enforcement activity. This is a focused technology supply requirement rather than a broad transport services contract. Businesses relevant to this procurement include suppliers of ANPR cameras, speed camera equipment and associated traffic-monitoring hardware that can support a public-sector buyer in Cheshire West and Chester. The named buying organisation is Cheshire West and Chester Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement concerns one requirement covering ANPR camera equipment for the Ellesmere Port area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to YUNEX LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and was divided into one completed lot. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and has an active period from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028. Its gross value is £39,600. The published data records the award as active and identifies YUNEX LIMITED as the supplier. Because this was a direct award without competition, the process did not evaluate competing bids through an open tender. The outcome shows the council selected a single supplier for the complete ANPR camera equipment requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the requirement provides a clear example of Cheshire West and Chester Council buying specialist traffic-monitoring equipment for Ellesmere Port. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply ANPR cameras or comparable speed camera equipment and demonstrate that its products meet the council’s operational needs. The selected supplier is a large business, indicating that the work can be delivered by an established specialist with the organisational capacity to support a public authority. Suppliers should also understand how to engage with below-threshold council requirements and direct-award routes, while recognising that this procurement was awarded without a competitive tender. Relevant capability is therefore concentrated in specialist equipment supply, public-sector delivery and local traffic-enforcement technology.
