Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Council is seeking a contractor for the "Tamar Bridge Toll Collection Service," a vital service within the toll collection industry, operating in England. This opportunity follows the expiration of the previous contract on 31 March 2022, with the new contract expected to commence on the same date and run for an initial duration of three years, potentially extendable by two additional years. The expected contract value is approximately £1,910,457 for the first term, and the open tender method was utilised, with a submission deadline that concluded on 26 November 2021.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in toll collection services, particularly those with capabilities in providing 24/7 operations and cleaning services for related infrastructure. Given the TUPE transfer of existing staff, companies experienced in personnel management and transition processes will find this tender particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a suitable opportunity for those looking to expand within the public sector service market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Tamar Bridge Toll Collection Service

Notice Description

Tolls collected at the Tamar Bridge represent the major source of income for the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry which are operated and maintained as self-financing infrastructure. Despite offering a range of automated and cash-free payment options, a physical presence is still required in each of the five mixed mode toll lanes and to support our two automated lanes. This high profile 24/7/365 service has been contracted-out since 1986, with the current contract expiring on 31 March 2022 and a new arrangement is required with an initial proposed contract duration of 3 years and an option to extend for a further 2 year period. The contract incorporates a cleaning requirement for the adjoining buildings, providing some onsite flexibility of resources for the appointed contractor. It is envisaged that a TUPE transfer of staff will be necessary. Value of the contract listed is based on the initial 3 year contract term
