Areas under review include the following which are either currently delivered by the council or by 3rd parties under Council management: o car park management o on street parking enforcement o civil enforcement o permit administration o pay & display management o a pay by phone management o removals service and pound operations o supply of management information systems to support the service o back office administrative operations Soft market testing and further supplier interactions in conjunction with on-going internal analysis will play a key role in helping to help shape the Councils vision for Parking Services and determine the option to take forward for possible future procurement. The Council would expect the option to provide an effective and responsive Parking Enforcement Service for Cornwall, delivering ongoing efficiencies at the same time as ensuring that key parking policy objectives for reduction of congestion and management of traffic are met. In addition the Council would like to explore new innovations and systems which ensure that data is reliable, robust and able to inform service priorities and future planning. Once the preferred option is identified, the Council anticipates a range of financial and non-financial benefits including *A reduction in costs *Delivery of a more flexible resourcing profile *Provision of improved intelligence and data to inform services *Improved traffic and parking management on key routes The Council is interested in hearing from businesses that would commit to investment in Cornwall and bring their operational and commercial expertise to manage and develop Parking Services in Cornwall.

Completed questionnaires, supplier presentations and on-going work by the Council will be used to develop the specification for future service provision. The market will be notified of future procurement activity following completion of this exercise. Responding to this notice or participating in presentations does not confer an advantage on participating suppliers. This is not a call for competition. Any future procurement exercise arising from the soft market testing exercise will be an independent process and will be subject to a separate PIN and / or Contract Notice.
