Scheduled for 9th November 2017 at their headquarters in Birmingham, this event is part of their strategy to enhance Park & Ride facilities in the West Midlands. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. The procurement is focused on parking services, with opportunities for suppliers to engage on significant infrastructure projects and partnerships aimed at expanding transportation connections in the region. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in transportation, construction, and technology sectors, particularly those specialising in parking services and infrastructure development. Companies that provide capital investment, design, and management of parking facilities, or those offering technological solutions such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems, would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this networking event may lead to future contracts and collaborations with TfWM, aiding growth in the burgeoning transport infrastructure sector of the West Midlands. ## Notice Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of West Midlands Combined Authority, provide over 8,500 parking spaces and has ambitious plans to further increase our Park & Ride capacity at Rail, Metro and Sprint (road rapid transit) sites by 3000 + spaces over the coming years. TfWM will be holding a Park & Ride Suppliers Day / Networking Event on Thursday 9th November 2017 to discuss how our plans with Park and Ride will help contribute towards the region's growth and investment being made with transport infrastructure, connecting people to HS2, Rail, Metro, Sprint, Training, Jobs and Housing.

PPM is delivered through a 5 year contract, currently in year 3. Cleaning & Grounds maintenance including Snow Clearance and Gritting is delivered through a 5 year contract, currently in year 2.
