Total Quantity or Scope

Hertfordshire County Council is currently out to procurement for Camera Enforcement Services for Bus Lane and Moving Traffic ContraventionsThe highway network provides one of the most important and valuable public facilities for Hertfordshire and it is continuously occupied for place, movement and asset management purposes. The competing and sometimes conflicting demands for use of the highway far outstrips its capacity and, therefore the network needs to be managed actively. In some cases, pro-active enforcement will be necessary to ensure that the local traffic management objectives are achieved.The Council is looking to undertake camera enforcement of bus lanes, bus gates and other moving traffic offences from early 2023. The necessary powers for unattended camera enforcement of bus lanes and gates were obtained in 2007 but enforcement is not currently undertaken. The Council is preparing to seek powers under Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act (2004) for the civil enforcement of other moving traffic offencesTo support this ambition the Council wants to procure an optimum service from a single end-to-end provider through a four-year contract, extendable to seven years.Please refer to Schedule 1 of the Contract- Specification for full details of the Service by logging in to https://intendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home This procurement is an open process.
