## Summary

Cheshire East Council is inviting quotations for the provision of pay and display parking machine tickets for the new Metric Elite LS machines installed across 63 car parks in the North West of England. This procurement, classified under the goods category, is currently at the tender stage and was published on 3rd March 2017. Submissions must be completed by 12 noon on 27th March 2017, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st May 2017 and lasting for two years, potentially extendable for two additional 12-month periods. The estimated total contract value is £48,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in ticket production and related services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Suppliers capable of providing efficient ticketing solutions, including those with experience in the parking industry or ticket-issuing technologies, may find this contract particularly advantageous as the volume of tickets could increase with changes in cashless payment options during the contract period.

## Notice

Cheshire East Council has recently procured 132 new pay and display parking machines. The machines that will be installed will be Metric Elite LS mains powered machines, which will be situated across a minimum of 63 car parks across the borough and are fitted with card readers/contactless payment and VRM (Vehicle Registration Mark) facilities. Some of the car parks are heavily utilised, resulting in 18 machines for double or triple issue and a further 18 requiring additional ticket capacity of which 8 machines require both double issue and extra ticket capacity. As a result of this new contract, the Council is inviting quotations from suppliers of tickets for these new machines. This will be a 2 year contract with the option to extend for a further 2 x 12 months. The council requires the supplier to revise its prices so as to continually maintain best value for the council and its residents and service users and remain competitive throughout the duration of the contract. The contract will be monitored closely as the volume of tickets required may go up if when we stop our current 'pay by phone' cashless parking provision which will mean more credit/debit card payment receipts where required. The volume of tickets required may go down thereafter if the council procures a new pay by phone service in the future during the duration of this contract. PLEASE NOTE RESPONSES MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED VIA THE CHEST BY 12 NOON ON THE 27th MARCH 2017. Please ensure you leave sufficient time to upload your submission prior to the closing date/time. The council cannot be held responsible for technical/ICT issues in leaving the uploading of your submission too late. No submission received after this closing date and time will be considered other than where there are exceptional circumstances which may be considered by the Director of Legal Services in his sole discretion. Please note that submissions which are partly through being uploaded at the closing time will be considered to have not been received. www.the-chest.org https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c43ed12c-f6fc-e611-80dd-005056b64545
