Description

The existing cycle parking facilities at the entrance to the Hillingdon Underground Station are limited in number and will not satisfy the projected increase in demand from users in the coming years.

There is also a concern, reflecting the national increase in incidents of bicycle theft, as to the security provided by the existing facilities.

The London Borough of Hillingdon is aware of these issues and proposes to provide the maximum possible parking facilities in a phased manner as well as the best possible security by the installation of sheltered double tier cycle racks and BTP CaMden type stands. The map attached shows the location of the proposed facilities.

In order to deliver these improvements for residents and other users, the Council invites quotations for these works from organisations with appropriate experience, capabilities and financial standing based upon the following technical requirements.

The Council seeks to maximise the parking facilities for the available space subject always to best practice and the requirements set out by Transport for London and seeks recommendations from those organisations responding to its RFQ.
