Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Council commissioned a managed automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera enforcement service. The requirement covers supplying and operating cameras, together with associated digital enforcement support, to improve road safety and support civil parking enforcement at School Keep Clear locations. This is a specialist traffic-monitoring and parking-enforcement services opportunity, involving both enforcement technology and the operational support needed to run it. The service is delivered in Cheshire, for activity overseen by Cheshire East Council. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of ANPR equipment and managed enforcement services, digital parking or traffic-management specialists, and organisations able to combine field technology with reliable back-office enforcement support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold route; the published procurement method is recorded as unknown. It comprised one lot. Derby City Council was selected as supplier, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 September 2029. Its value is £108,000 excluding VAT and £129,600 including VAT. The purchasing requirement was evaluated as a service covering traffic-monitoring equipment and parking-enforcement services, with the award linked to the single lot. The contract therefore represents a three-year delivery arrangement for the managed ANPR and digital enforcement service at School Keep Clear locations.

This award shows that Cheshire East Council uses a managed, technology-enabled approach to enforce restrictions at School Keep Clear locations, combining ANPR cameras with digital enforcement support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide dependable traffic-monitoring equipment, install or operate ANPR cameras, and support the end-to-end digital enforcement workflow. Relevant experience in civil parking enforcement and road-safety schemes would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment, while the ability to manage equipment and service delivery across Cheshire would be important. Suppliers with both technical capability and established enforcement operations are better placed than businesses offering cameras or software alone, particularly where evidence handling, reliable systems and consistent operational support are required.
