Car Parking Management

The University are undertaking Pre-Market engagement event for the procurement for the provision of: A car parking management provider is required to support Travel, Transport and Parking Services to manage the university car parks. This management needs to include the use of ANPR and foot patrol officers to manage the compliance of parking at the university. The new provider will be required to use existing signage and ANPR cameras that are owned by the university although it is acknowledged that the signage will need to be updated. A permit management system to manage parking for university staff, students, contractors and visitors is required. All customer facing services (including signage) where possible needs to be provided in both Welsh and English. The Procurement will include the need for Innovation and require bidders to set out their approaches for any improvements in conjunction with the University. A permit management system is provided by which to manage staff, contractor and external user car parking and permit are paid for in the main by direct debit (to the current provider) or direct invoice raised by the university. RingGo and JustPark parking apps are in place to allow site users to book and pay for their own car parking on a daily basis (should they not hold a permit). A pay and display terminal is also in operation in our Maindy Road car park which is one of the largest and busiest car parks. We have a number of car parks that are managed using ANPR cameras which will remain and also signage installed in all car parks. Whilst the signs will need updating this can be done by the use of overlays rather than needing replacement (some additional signs may be required). Two foot patrol officers are employed by the current provider on the contract. They would be subject to TUPE requirements.
