Overview
The purpose of this Pre-Market Engagement (PME) is to assist the Council in understanding current market capability, available commercial models, potential procurement routes and approaches to securing value for money, quality and innovation in the provision of parking IT services. The Council is seeking information and market feedback on modern parking management solutions suitable for the London Borough of Brent.
In particular, the Council is interested in understanding the current market offering and the capability of suppliers to provide an integrated cashless parking solution alongside PCN/Notice Processing and Permit Management functionality. The Council is also exploring the potential for collaborative or joint procurement arrangements and would welcome market views on the benefits, challenges, commercial models and procurement approaches associated with such an arrangement.
The Council is interested in understanding whether these services are best delivered through a single integrated solution or through separate but interoperable systems. Suppliers are invited to provide information on their current and planned capabilities, solution architecture, commercial models, implementation approach, integration capabilities and experience of delivering parking IT services within the public sector.
Submission
Suppliers are requested to complete and submit their responses to the PME questions by the stated deadline.
Additional details
This PME is intended solely to inform the Council's understanding of the market and the development of its future procurement strategy. It is not a call for tenders or an invitation to submit a formal tender, and participation in the PME will not give any supplier preferential treatment in any subsequent procurement process. Please refer to the PME Notice for further details, including the scope of the engagement and the questions to be addressed.
