## Summary

The Publica Group is seeking a supplier for cashless parking services across 23 off-street car parks in the Cotswold and Forest of Dean districts. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with a contract awarded on 27th August 2020 to PayByPhone, valued at approximately £70,117.60. The contract duration is from 1st October 2020 to 30th September 2024, with a potential one-year extension. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, aimed at providing effective parking management solutions that can integrate with existing enforcement systems.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in electronic payment solutions and customer service enhancements. Companies that can offer proven and user-friendly cashless parking technologies would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, suppliers capable of integrating their solutions with ICT systems and providing continuous customer support can thrive in this environment, especially those that focus on enhancing user experience in local government settings.

## Notice

We are looking for a supplier to provide a cashless parking solution to manage 23 Off-Street car parks across two Local Authorities. The solution should allow all methods of contact; speaking to an operative, texting, web based and using a mobile application. Reliable customer service is a high priority for both Councils. This is reflected in the evaluation ratio for this contract which is 70% quality and 30% price. The supplier will assist the Councils to promote the use of the cashless payment system with regular reviews of usage. At the start of the contract the supplier is required to provide the following: stickers for machines, fixed signs for wall or post mounting and art work to add to our own signs. The solution will need to integrate with our ICT contractor Chipside Ltd. The information will need to be transmitted to the handheld equipment used by the Enforcement Officers, to enable affective enforcement. The solution should be proven and tested, with 'ease of use' and 'ease of access' to the system being priority factors. This will be a 4 year contract with an option to extend for 1 year
