This tender, which falls under the industry category of goods and specifically focuses on car park control equipment, is part of an open procurement process. The deadline for submissions is 4th October 2019, and the contract period is set to commence on 4th November 2019, lasting until 4th November 2023. The location for delivery is within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom, as Rother Valley Country Park attracts around 800,000 visitors annually, creating a substantial demand for an efficient vehicle admission system. This tender provides an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in automated access control systems, payment solutions, and traffic management technologies. Companies that can offer innovative and flexible parking solutions, along with experience in integrating various payment methods, would be well-positioned to compete. Successful delivery of the new automated barrier system will not only enhance the customer experience but also improve the financial performance of the park, making it a lucrative opportunity for qualified contractors aiming to expand their market reach within local government contracts. ## Notice Rother Valley Country Park is in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham and is close to Rotherham's border with Sheffield and Derbyshire. The park covers 3 square kilometres and offers various recreational pursuits such as boating, canoeing, windsurfing, cycling, nature reserves, an animal farm, children's play areas and a miniature railway. The park is very popular, with an annual visitor total in the region of 800,000. The number of vehicles admitted to the park each year is around 90,000. The current entrance barrier system is manually operated and payment is taken before vehicles are admitted to the park. This is slow, and can lead to build up of traffic waiting to enter at peak times, causing difficulties on the surrounding road network. The Council wishes to replace the current system for admitting vehicles and taking payment with an automated one that is secure and reliable, that enables quick and easy entry to the park, and that allows vehicles to leave only when the appropriate fee has been paid. It must also offer a range of payment methods and include a flexible barrier arrangement that can be configured to suit different traffic flow rates and directions throughout the day. The system will be operated by the Council, to whom all payments will be passed immediately. The Council does not require an external operator to provide parking services or income recovery including penalty fines etc. The new barrier system will contribute to the improved financial performance of the park by reducing operating costs and maximising income from vehicle admissions. It will negate the need for a staffed station at the entry/exit point. It will improve the customer experience and address current problems of queueing traffic by increasing the rate at which vehicles can enter the park. It will allow the Council to be more flexible in the way it manages vehicle admissions, including: * configuring barrier operation to prioritise entry or exit depending on the time of day, * introduction of new variable tariffs, * accepting a wider range of payment methods including contactless, cash, card, payment app and pre-paid memberships * recognising and allowing selected vehicles (e.g. staff, deliveries) to pass freely * recognising and disallowing entry by banned vehicles. The entire system must be in place and working not later than 1st April 2020 in preparation for the summer season. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9913a573-9a8e-4ad5-b28d-a12ee73c7fc7 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Sep 2019 | | Submission deadline | 4 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Nov 2019 - 4 Nov 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £181,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ROTHERHAM MBC | | Locality | ROTHERHAM | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S60 1AE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE34 Rotherham | | Local authority | Rotherham | | Electoral ward | Boston Castle | | Westminster constituency | Rotherham | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 42 - Industrial machinery - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 34926000 - Car park control equipment - 34996300 - Control, safety or signalling equipment for parking facilities - 42961100 - Access control system - 44221300 - Gates - 44221310 - Access gates - 45213312 - Car park building construction work - 45421148 - Installation of gates ## Release History - 18 Sep 2019 at 15:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9913a573-9a8e-4ad5-b28d-a12ee73c7fc7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9913a573-9a8e-4ad5-b28d-a12ee73c7fc7 18th September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=437c29bb-b3c8-e911-80f8-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.rotherham.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
