## Summary

The Tamar Bridge Toll Collection Service is a public procurement opportunity initiated by Cornwall Council, located in Truro, UK. This service falls under the category of toll-collection services and is part of the broader services procurement category. The procurement method is open procedure, and this tender remains active, with a tender period that concludes on 26 November 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 1 April 2022, with an initial duration of three years and a possible extension of two years. Key contact for this procurement is Mr James Howarth at Cornwall Council.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in toll-collection management, facility maintenance, and related services. Companies with experience in providing 24/7 operational support and automated payment systems will be particularly well-suited to compete. As the toll-collection service has been contracted-out for over three decades, potential bidders should be prepared for a TUPE transfer of staff as part of the contract execution. Engaging in this tender can not only provide a steady income stream but also enhance reputational credibility within the public sector.

## Notice

Tolls collected at the Tamar Bridge represent the major source of income for the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry which are operated and maintained as self-financing infrastructure. Despite offering a range of automated and cash-free payment options, a physical presence is still required in each of the five mixed mode toll lanes and to support our two automated lanes. This high profile 24/7/365 service has been contracted-out since 1986, with the current contract expiring on 31 March 2022 and a new arrangement is required with an initial proposed contract duration of 3 years and an option to extend for a further 2 year period. The contract incorporates a cleaning requirement for the adjoining buildings, providing some onsite flexibility of resources for the appointed contractor. It is envisaged that a TUPE transfer of staff will be necessary.
