This initiative falls under the parking services industry category and is situated in London, UK. Currently at the planning stage, the Council has issued a Prior Information Notice to alert potential suppliers and invites expressions of interest by noon on 10 February 2017. The contract would involve service and maintenance for 751 pay-and-display machines, primarily Metric Assent PDMs, with 99.5% functionality expected during operational hours. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and cash collection services, particularly those experienced with parking services and public sector contracts. Companies that can ensure high service standards and have experience in managing older equipment systems, such as the Metric Accent machines, would be particularly well-suited. Furthermore, familiarity with the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations would be advantageous, should there be a change of service provider during this process. ## Notice The Council is seeking to procure a maintenance and cash collection service for its current pay-and-display machines (PDMs). Currently, the Council has 751 pay-and-display machines in operation. 729 of the machines are Metric Assent PDMs. The Council has published a Prior Information Notice to alert the market to this contract opportunity and to invite expressions of interest from suppliers who wish to be given the opportunity to participate in the Council's soft market testing exercise. It therefore wants to hear from any supplier who believes that they can provide service and maintenance to these machines as well as cash collection services. It is likely that the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) (TUPE) Regulations will apply if there is a change of service provider. It will be the incoming contractor's responsibility to ascertain the legal position with respect to TUPE. The Council will contact all parties that express interest and give them the opportunity to explain their proposals and seek further information. In the event that no alternative providers come forward or are suitable, the Council will enter into direct negotiations under Reg. 32(2)(a) in order to conclude a contract. The PDMs are constantly monitored through manual and automated routines. To ensure the best possible service to visitors these machines are maintained to a high standard. The Council expects that 99.5% of the PDMs are fully functional during controlled hours. Currently PDMs operate under two distinct communication methods. Namely: 1. BT 2. GSM The Metric Accent machines are approximately 20 years old and are no longer manufactured. There is no intention to replace the fleet of PDMs in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that parts from any machines removed from on-street will be used to service the remaining machines. However, RBKC is introducing a borough-wide pay-by-phone parking service in December 2016 Additional information: The deadline for expressions of interest is noon on 10 February 2017 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf511a67-a992-48fd-9c9d-282a15c82bea | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Dec 2016 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 23 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CAPITALESOURCING | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | West London | | Postcode | W8 7NX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI33 Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham | | Local authority | Kensington and Chelsea | | Electoral ward | Campden | | Westminster constituency | Kensington and Bayswater | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services ### Codes - 63712400 - Parking services ## Release History - 21 Dec 2016 at 15:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf511a67-a992-48fd-9c9d-282a15c82bea ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cf511a67-a992-48fd-9c9d-282a15c82bea 21st December 2016 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/9049272d-1006-4ae4-84d9-404484aa60d9 n/a - http://www.capitalesourcing.com This pre-market consultation is being conducted through the Council's electronic procurement portal capitalEsourcing. ## Notice URLs - http://www.capitalesourcing.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
