Supply and Installation of Intelligent ANPR-Enabled Sensors for Hertfordshire County Council

About

Hertfordshire County Council awarded a contract to Vivacity Labs Limited for the supply and installation of intelligent ANPR-enabled sensors to monitor vehicle usage of road space, along with 5 years of data collection and system support.

The contract, valued at £256,350, was awarded in July 2020 without prior publication under regulation 32(5)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, as an extension of existing supplies where a change of supplier would result in incompatible technical characteristics and disproportionate technical difficulties.

Additional cameras were required to widen the network and create a better digital twin of the business park, capturing all incoming and outgoing movements.

Using sensors from multiple manufacturers would prevent the capture of Origin-Destination route and duration metrics and require multiple supplier dashboards, affecting data quality and increasing maintenance costs.
