Description

The London Borough of Hillingdon (LBH) currently has an outsourced service for the enforcement of parking in the borough and an in-house service for the administration of parking in the Borough. The existing contract terminates in April 2022. The Council wish to go to market through an open tender for a new contract, as defined below.

In planning for these new contracts, LBH has decided that the required Services to carry out enforcement, provision of an IT service, and limited issues relating to the parking infrastructure will be market tested. Other tasks to complement the contract will be carried out by a team of in-house staff. The Specification for the main contract for parking enforcement for this Council, covering:
- on and off-street enforcement by the issue of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs); the removal of vehicles in contravention and operation of a car pound; optionally, the clamping of vehicles in contravention;
- implementation of suspensions for parking bays;
- management of elements of the parking infrastructure;
- the management and provision of the IT infrastructure required by the in-house and external Contractors' staff.
The Specification must be read in conjunction with the Conditions of Contract, the Quotation Schedule, and the Instruction to Tenderers
The area to be covered by the contract is the whole of the administrative area of the Borough of Hillingdon. There are exceptions which include Heathrow Airport, the motorways within the Borough, and some major roads, which will remain the responsibility of the police, through its uniformed officers and traffic wardens. A map is appended at Appendix A1 of the specification.
Tenders will be evaluated in terms of their compliance with the Specification, to identify the best value for money having regard to price and quality.

Given that this contract may replace an existing outsourced service, it is considered by the Council that the provision of TUPE does apply. Tenderers are, of course, required to form their own view on this and to submit tenders accordingly. If a Tenderer does not believe that TUPE will apply, they are asked to provide a full justification for this view. TUPE information relating to staff that may be affected will be provided by the Council via the e-tendering portal.

The Council issues approximately 82,500 Penalty Charge Notices (PCN's) each year, for on and off-street parking contraventions. In addition, the Council undertakes CCTV enforcement issuing approximately 20,000 PCN's each.

The contract commencement date is 4th April 2022.

The Contract will be for an initial term of FIVE (5) years with the option to extend for a further FIVE (5) years subject to satisfactory supplier performance giving a possible total contract duration of TEN (10) years (the Term)
