Flowbird Parking Machines that the Council purchased require the Smartfolio back office
system as this is the only system that integrates with the Flowbird machines and therefore
they are the only provider able to meet this requirement. For as long as the parking machines
are in use we will require access to this system which is why the end date is 31/03/2028 as it
is anticipated that the Council will have a different approach/situation before this date and it
is expected that a review of the Council’s ticket machine requirements will take place well in
advance of 31/03/2028. The purpose of the most recent VEAT notice (ref 2024/S 000-028626) is to show expected value for the next 4 years up until 31 March 2028. The standstill period for the VEAT notice was from 06/09/2024 - midnight on 16/09/2024.
