Brent council is looking for a new contract to run its parking operations, including providing a management information system and IT to process penalty notices. A notice in the Official Journal of the European Union says the north London authority expects to spend £18m on the initial deal, which will run for four years. This could be extended by a further four years, however, in which case the value will reach £36m. The contract will cover the supply of an IT system for penalty notice processing, and includes scanning of all correspondence and the issue of statutory documents. It also includes a compatible management information system for office systems and data capture, including modules for enforcement, cashless payments, a permits system and a monitoring and reporting function. Enforcement of parking restrictions in bus lanes and off street parking and the use of CCTV will be included in the deal, along with the operation of car pounds.
