The procurement is under the industry category of services, specifically parking services (CPV code 63712400). This initiative is not a call for competition but an early engagement exercise to seek expressions of interest from potential suppliers. Interested suppliers are invited to participate in a virtual informal market engagement via Teams, with sessions scheduled between January and February 2025. Suppliers must express their interest and preferred dates by 12 noon on 24 January 2025. The engagement will cover delivering innovation, best value, Net Zero Carbon services, and additional relevant services. This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in parking enforcement, cashless parking systems, back-office software, and environmental enforcement services to expand their operations. Companies experienced in delivering innovative solutions and continuous improvement for public sector clients, particularly those with a solid track record in Net Zero Carbon emissions, are well-suited to compete. With individual presentation slots provided, suppliers have the chance to showcase their capabilities and demonstrate how they can deliver best value for the London Borough of Hounslow. This process can lead to significant business growth and long-term partnerships, given the scope for potential inclusion of additional service contracts. ## Notice THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION We have a number of parking contracts that expire in 2025/26 financial year, including: - the main enforcement contract - cashless parking - back-office software contract - sundry support contracts (e.g. printing, posting, scanning) There may be the option to include other contracts including environmental enforcement and some back office processing services.
