What is being bought

Published requirement description

Leicester City Council (the Council) are commencing a formal Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise in advance of initiating a procurement process. The Council aims to procure a Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA) accredited camera enforcement solution which will enable us to significantly increase and efficiently enforce a range of moving vehicle offences across the city whilst maximising the value of our existing enforcement camera estate. The purpose of such engagement is to understand the level of market interest and to seek market intelligence on commercial off the shelf solutions and any innovative proposals from organisations who can provide VCA accredited products and operational expertise in this field.
