QUESTION NO.15

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the chief executive to provide details in relation to the contract South Dublin County Council has with South Dublin Parking Services including the length of contract, tendering process

REPLY:

 Parking on street and off street (ie in car parks) on South Dublin County Council is controlled by the Council's adopted Control of Parking Bye Laws and in terms of managing parking services, South Dublin County Council  entered a contract with Parkrite Ltd. (100% subsidiary of Tazbell Services Group DAC) in February 2021, following a public procurement process in collaboration with the Office of Government Procurement.   The contract includes the provision of Enforcement Service, Cash Collection, Provision of Parking Machines and the Maintenance of Parking Machine Service. 

This contact was initially for a period of two years, with an option (which has been utilised) to extend the contract for two periods of 12 (twelve) months each.   

As this contract is due to expire in January 2025, the Council is currently working on a new SRFT for the current OGP framework, with a view to having a new contractor in place from 1st February 2025.
