Park and Ride Suppliers Day / Networking Event

Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), part of West Midlands Combined Authority, provide over 8,500 parking spaces and has ambitious plans to further increase our Park & Ride capacity at Rail, Metro and Sprint (road rapid transit) sites by 3000 + spaces over the coming years. TfWM will be holding a Park & Ride Suppliers Day / Networking Event on Thursday 9th November 2017 to discuss how our plans with Park and Ride will help contribute towards the region's growth and investment being made with transport infrastructure, connecting people to HS2, Rail, Metro, Sprint, Training, Jobs and Housing.

We hope that suppliers will identify opportunities that may exist in supporting TfWM through: • Shared / Partnership working, to offer capital investment for major projects, secure land, design, build and manage the provision of P&R facilities • Acting as a Third Party to independently make capital investment, secure land, design, build and deliver fully managed P&R • Design, supply, install and manage ANPR equipment and back office systems to manage access, egress and parking charges through cashless and contactless payments which should include payments with Swift card (ITSO) Swift is the regions version of London's Oyster card. • Providing total outsourced Car Park Management service across our existing and future car park estate • Helping TfWM offset operational costs, we are exploring what commercial opportunities may exist such as retail - vendor / sponsorship / advertising / space rental across our estate Parking enforcement is currently delivered through an existing 5 year contract, currently in year 2. PPM is delivered through a 5 year contract, currently in year 3.

Cleaning & Grounds maintenance including Snow Clearance and Gritting is delivered through a 5 year contract, currently in year 2. Responses received could help TfWM design specifications for future requirements.
