Summary of the contracting process

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council procured parking management and enforcement services across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area. The requirement was for a fully integrated parking system, including administration and enforcement of parking penalties and a comprehensive permit management system. The penalty charge notice processing element must comply with the Traffic Management Act 2004, as amended. This is a council-wide service combining operational parking enforcement with the technology and administration needed to process penalty notices and manage permits. The work covers the BCP area; the recorded delivery location is identified as a regional code rather than a place name.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Imperial Civil Enforcement Solutions Limited. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and is active, with an awarded value of £125,100. The process was a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework, which had been established through a competitive procurement; the council used an award procedure without publishing a separate competition notice. The tender data marks the sole lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active, so the published outcome is internally inconsistent on lot status. The stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded for the lot.

This award shows demand from Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council for an integrated parking enforcement and permit management service, rather than a standalone software product. A credible competitor would need to combine a compliant penalty charge notice processing system with a comprehensive permit management system and the operational capability to manage and enforce parking across the council’s area. Demonstrable compliance with the Traffic Management Act 2004, as amended, is central to the requirement. The award was made through a G-Cloud 14 framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that framework route or an applicable successor arrangement. Price was the stated basis of evaluation, making a competitive, deliverable service offer important alongside the required technical and enforcement capabilities.
