Description
BCC are conducting a soft market test currently to discover options for a back-office system to manage the full life-cycle of all Penalty Charge Notices issued by the Council. This software is crucial for the enforcement of Bristol streets, bus lanes and Clean Air Zone and it’s essential we have a robust system that can efficiently deal with the complex, bespoke demands of this enforcement. BCC have built a questionnaire which has been designed to help the Council understand the available functionality of software packages on the market. The system would manage the full lifecycle of a PCN including the issuing of the PCN, appeals against a charge (from informal appeals through to Traffic Penalty Tribunal cases) and closure of a case.
