Report of the Head of Regulation and Compliance

The Cabinet considered the report of the Head of Regulation and Compliance that sought approval to invite tenders through the appropriate procurement route for the provision of a park and ride bus service for Southport.

Decision Made: That:

(1)      the tender process to procure the provision of a park and ride bus service, as outlined in the report, be approved;

(2)      the contract be authorised for a period of 5 years from 1 August 2018; and

(3)      authority be delegated to the Head of Regulation and Compliance to award the contract resulting from the procurement, in consultation with the Cabinet Member - Regulatory, Compliance and Corporate Services.

Reasons for the Decision:

To allow the continued delivery of the Southport Park and Ride Service which is an important part of the parking offer in Southport.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected:

Not to award a contract, which would mean no park and ride service was provided for in Southport.
