HC Deb 18 December 1986 vol 107 c654W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what criteria were used in awarding the tender for the operation of wheel-clamping in the Greater London area to Private Parking Protection.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that the two contracts for wheel-clamping in the existing clamping zone were awarded to Bilpot Ltd and Unitrust Protection Services Ltd because their tenders provided the best value for money, taking account of the service to be provided and the cost.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the number and names of companies submitting tenders for contracting out of wheel-clamping in the Greater London area.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I understand from the Commissioner that tenders were invited and received from eight companies for the contracting out of wheelclamping in the existing clamping zone. These were;

  • A-Z Couriers
  • Bilpot Limited
  • Group 4 Securities
  • Metropolitan Wheelclamps
  • Securicor
  • Securiguard Group PLC
  • Unitrust Protection Services Limited
  • Thorn EMI Protech
