## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the maintenance of VCA Certified ANPR Camera Systems used in moving traffic enforcement across Leicester. The process has reached the award stage, with Yunex Limited being granted the contract via a direct award. This procurement, categorized under software package and information systems, entails technical maintenance of 30 ANPR enforcement sites owned by Leicester City Council. The contract, valued at over £763,000, commences on 1st October 2026 and spans three years, with potential extensions up to 2031. The awarding process followed Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, allowing a contract to be awarded due to technical reasons and protection of exclusive rights.

This contract presents significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in traffic management technologies, software systems, or infrastructure maintenance. The tender was awarded directly due to the proprietary nature of the technology provided by Yunex Traffic. Therefore, businesses with expertise in the maintenance and enhancement of proprietary traffic enforcement technologies or those that can provide ancillary services to support these operations might explore subcontracting opportunities. SMEs and businesses with an understanding of compliance requirements related to VCA certification in traffic enforcement systems would be particularly suited to engage with this contract.

## Notice

Leicester City Council currently owns and operates 30 ANPR/camera enforcement sites supplied and installed by Yunex Limted as part of the council's statutory parking and moving traffic enforcement operations. This direct award request has been submitted because: * the existing maintenance contract expires in September 2026 * the existing asset of 30 enforcement sites remain operational and within lifecycle * the existing sites must be maintained to VCA standards to meet ongoing traffic management & enforcement objectives and ensure best value.

### Procurement Information

The direct award is justified under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, specifically where a contract may be awarded without competition where the goods or services can only be supplied by a particular supplier due to technical reasons or the protection of exclusive rights (including intellectual property rights). Leicester City Council currently owns 30 operational ANPR/enforcement camera sites supplied and installed by Yunex Traffic. These assets are proprietary systems developed and manufactured by Yunex Traffic and are protected by intellectual property rights relating to the hardware configuration, firmware, evidential processing software and system integration. The complete package of the camera and its associated software, systems and secure communications operate under VCA type approval meaning the evidential capture, calibration, data transmission and processing must be maintained in accordance with strict VCA certification requirements. Only Yunex Traffic has the technical authority, proprietary access and certified tools required to maintain our existing camera enforcement sites. This includes installing necessary firmware/security updates and replacing defective parts to maintain the VCA certification and ensure continued evidential compliance. No alternative supplier has access to the proprietary systems required to maintain these cameras without invalidating certification, breaching intellectual property rights or compromising evidential integrity. As such, no other suppliers can come forward to maintain these cameras due to these technical reasons and the protection of exclusive rights applies.
