Approval to extend the Parking Contract with NSL

The current Parking Enforcement Contract with NSL is due to expire in June 2024. To ensure that the Council are receiving value for money it would be prudent to conduct a service review to explore whether it would be appropriate to bring the service in house or if the Council should continue with an external contractor. To do this, the existing Parking Enforcement Contract with NSL needs extending to allow the council to work with industry experts (Parking Matters) and review the current service provision and potentially to support the writing of a tender for future parking services in Oldham.
