Planning Information

The City shall undertake a preliminary market engagement in the form of a questionnaire. Suppliers will be given three weeks to respond. While none of the questions are mandatory, responses to the majority of them would be appreciated to support the development of the specification. Suppliers will not be disadvantaged or discriminated against if they choose not to participate, or if they submit only a partial response. The scope of this market engagement covers functions commonly found in local authority parking back‑office systems, including notice processing, correspondence handling, evidence management, permit administration, integrations with statutory and operational partners, and data and reporting capabilities. As part of this engagement, the City seeks high‑level information on typical approaches, options and industry norms. The City is not seeking detailed proposals, pricing, or commitments at this stage, and is not defining its requirements through this process. The insights received will help the City refine the scope and structure of its future specification and procurement strategy.
