Summary of the contracting process

The Tamar Bridge Toll Collection Service is a public procurement opportunity initiated by Cornwall Council, located in Truro, UK. This service falls under the category of toll-collection services and is part of the broader services procurement category. The procurement method is open procedure, and this tender remains active, with a tender period that concludes on 26 November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2022, with an initial duration of three years and a possible extension of two years. Key contact for this procurement is Mr James Howarth at Cornwall Council.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in toll-collection management, facility maintenance, and related services. Companies with experience in providing 24/7 operational support and automated payment systems will be particularly well-suited to compete. As the toll-collection service has been contracted-out for over three decades, potential bidders should be prepared for a TUPE transfer of staff as part of the contract execution. Engaging in this tender can not only provide a steady income stream but also enhance reputational credibility within the public sector.

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.
