Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Soft Market Test: Modern Parking Solutions for Leicestershire sites". This initiative aims to explore modern and user-friendly parking solutions, starting with Snibston Destination Park in Leicester. The engagement end date is set for 5th February 2020, providing interested parties with an opportunity to respond and potentially influence future tender exercises. The project falls under several industry categories, including control and safety equipment for parking facilities, parking services, and car park management services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in parking solutions, management services, and enforcement. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. Engaging in this early market testing may not only lead to contracts with the council but also position businesses for future competitive tenders as the council evaluates options for broader implementation across other country park car parks.

Soft Market Test: Modern Parking Solutions for Leicestershire sites

Notice Description
