The tender, classified under parking services, is currently in the open procurement stage and will close on 14th August 2020. The contract duration is set for four years, starting from 1st October 2020, with an option for a one-year extension. Interested suppliers should note that the minimum contract value is £40,000, with the total estimated value at £50,000. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the service industry, particularly those specialising in cashless payment technology and parking solutions. Companies capable of providing a customer-focused service that integrates various payment methods—such as mobile applications and web interfaces—would be well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers with a strong emphasis on reliable customer support and proven systems will find this opportunity advantageous, given that the evaluation criteria prioritise quality heavily at 70%. ## 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 Additional information: to express an interest and download the tender documentation please visit; https://in-tendhost.co.uk/publicagroup/aspx/Home Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8053eda5-96b3-492c-92f0-a3ad86224c47 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 14 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2020 - 30 Sep 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | PUBLICA GROUP | | Locality | GLOUCESTERSHIRE | | Post town | Gloucester | | Postcode | GL7 1PX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK73 Gloucestershire CC | | Local authority | Cotswold | | Electoral ward | Watermoor | | Westminster constituency | South Cotswolds | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63712400 - Parking services ## Release History - 24 Jul 2020 at 15:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8053eda5-96b3-492c-92f0-a3ad86224c47 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8053eda5-96b3-492c-92f0-a3ad86224c47 24th July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/publicagroup/aspx/ Additional information on how to apply for this contract ## Notice URLs - http://www.cotswold.gov.uk - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/publicagroup/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
