This planning stage aims to enhance the management of their Park & Ride estate, which currently consists of approximately 9,000 spaces and will expand to 9,620 with a new facility. Key dates include an engagement end date on 2nd July 2021 and a pre-registration deadline for a Q&A session on 28th June 2021. Located in Birmingham, England, this tender offers an opportunity to engage with suppliers through a market testing exercise to explore collaborative data solutions. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in data collection, analytics, and technology solutions. Companies that can provide innovative platforms for managing user data and insights, as well as those experienced in offering collaborative data-driven services, would be well-suited to compete. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the buying organisation is keen to understand a wide range of capabilities from potential suppliers, which could lead to strategic partnerships and enhancement of service offerings in public transport management. ## Notice Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) is seeking to transform the way in which it manages its Park & Ride estate by enhancing data collection and presentation. The aim is to enhance customer information and feed into operational and development plans including informing future parking, walking and cycling initiatives as well as supporting wider organisational work streams. TfWM's currently estate consists of 65 Park & Ride car parks and is responsible for managing approximately 9000 spaces which will increase to 9620 with the opening of the new Longbridge facility. TfWM wishes to engage with suppliers through a market testing exercise to understand what opportunities there are to obtain an increased wealth of data and information about how Park & Ride sites operate and gain greater insight into user behaviour. This would include collection and collation of live and historic car park count data and more profile information on our users. We want to establish platforms to ensure that customers and operational / development staff can effectively access the data in a format which is simple, efficient and effective in informing decisions and actions. We recognise that not all suppliers will be able to provide all elements outlined above, however, we are keen to understand what each organisation can deliver and whether there are any opportunities for collaborative working with other companies to provide the full range of required outputs (this is not essential).
