Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire West and Chester Council procured the installation and maintenance of automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras at Winsford Station Bridge. This is a combined camera-system and installation works requirement, with ongoing maintenance, rather than a general security-camera supply. The recorded delivery area is Cheshire; the named site is Winsford Station Bridge. The work supports the use of ANPR cameras at that specific location. Videalert Limited was selected to carry out the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Videalert Limited. The council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 5 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 4 October 2029. Its gross value is £110,000. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the ANPR camera installation and maintenance at Winsford Station Bridge. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers tracking Cheshire West and Chester Council’s demand, this award demonstrates a requirement for site-specific ANPR camera installation and maintenance at a transport location. A credible competitor for similar work would need to deliver and install ANPR equipment, coordinate the associated construction work, and provide maintenance across an ongoing service period. The selected supplier, Videalert Limited, is an SME, showing that a business of that scale was capable of undertaking this contract. The council used a direct award without competition for this below-threshold purchase, so this outcome does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or published technical qualifications. Suppliers with relevant ANPR deployment and maintenance capability, and the capacity to support a fixed-site installation over several years, are the closest fit for this buyer’s requirement.
