## Summary

The Police & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire has successfully completed a procurement process for the project titled "Parking Buddies," aimed at acquiring three-foot high illuminated signage to discourage obstructive parking around schools. The total contract value is £55,000, and the procurement was conducted under the 'Other - waiver / exemption around SME local supplier' method due to the urgency of school opening deadlines. The contract period spans from 6th August 2021 to 5th August 2022, with the procurement process now at the Award stage, noted to have been finalised on 1st August 2021. The project is classified under the CPV code for Signage and is located in the West Midlands, United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in signage and related goods. Companies equipped to provide similar illuminated signage or related advertising products would be particularly well-placed to compete in future tenders of this nature. Given the project's focus on addressing community needs around school zones, potential suppliers should also consider the social impact of their offerings when engaging in procurement processes with public authorities.

## Notice

3 foot high illuminated characture signs with text asking for driveways and roads which sit on school thoroughfares to not be blocked by poor parking, during school drop off and collection.
