Kia ora Mike,
Parking Services – Procurement
Thank you for your request made under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings
Act 1987 (the Act), received on 26 March 2023. You requested the fol owing information:
Regarding your procurement that resulted in an award to Arthur D Riley & Co Ltd (ADR) relating to
parking services.
Can you please provide
1. The procurement plan and note if there were prior iterations for different procurement
approaches or attempts.
2. The procurement evaluation process, areas of evaluation and associated weightings, and
findings of the RFP responses.
3. Any material (incl but not limited to memo's, emails etc) relating to concerns raised with
the procurement, evaluation, selection, or commercial agreement made with ADR.
4. Project risks, issues, assumptions, and decisions recorded in the implementation and
operation of the products or services provided by ADR.
5. Brochures or similar information on the equipment installed in our car parks or meters by
ADR.
6. The Solution Architecture (SAD) written for the technology related to ADR's contracted
parking services.
7. What fields (aka attributes of data, or information) and/or reporting, analysis, or insights
you receive from ADR.
Wellington City Council has refused
your request for information.
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was released in respect to Parking Solutions on 22 August 2022. This
RFP is for the supply of services relating to:
a. End-to-end monitoring and enforcement solutions
b. Reporting and data analytics
c. Provision of an app that customers use/interact with
d. Hardware solutions
This procurement process is still ongoing, and no contract has been awarded to a service provider
at this stage. Therefore, the Council is refusing your request under section 7(2)(i) of the Act as the
withholding of this information is necessary to enable a local authority holding the information to
carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial
negotiations).
Right of review
If you are not satisfied with the Council’s response, you may request the Office of the Ombudsman
to investigate the Council’s decision. Further information is available on the Ombudsman website,
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.
Please note, we may proactively release our response to your request with your personal
information removed.
Thank you again for your request, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Kind regards
Ollie Marchant
