Council decisions

Subject to agreeing the final terms and conditions of contract, this report seeks approval to award the Civil Parking & Traffic Enforcement and Associated Services Contract (“Enforcement Contract”) to NSL Limited, and, to enter into a contract with NSL Limited. 

The Enforcement Contract will commence on 1 November 2018, and will cover a period of 5 years, with an option to extend by up to a further 2 years at the discretion of the Council.

In April 2013 the Council entered into a procurement exercise with a number of other London boroughs, with Islington as the lead borough, for a four year Internal Audit, Anti-Fraud, Risk Management and Advisory Framework contract.

On 11^th August 2014 the framework contract was awarded to Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC). The contract includes no minimum values, so there is no obligation to use; our annual audit and anti-fraud plans determine the number of days that are delivered by the provider.

The original framework contract ran for four years until August 2018. In order to align contract termination dates across boroughs with the financial year end date, to update the contract in line with GDPR, and to allow adequate time for a re-procurement process which may be led by a borough other than Islington, an extension to the Framework has been agreed between PwC and Islington until March 2020. The procurement forward plan for 2018/19 identified that a procurement exercise would be undertaken due to the current contract expiring in August 2018.

This decision seeks to extend Barnet’s access agreement in line with the above to March 2020.
