Soft Market Testing Exercise for Parking Enforcement & associated services

The London Borough of Hackney (The Council) is currently undertaking a commissioning programme to determine future delivery options for its Parking Enforcement contract and associated services. This will include:

Provision of Parking Enforcement

Provision of staffing for CCTV Enforcement

Provision of vehicle removal services

Provision of CCTV Cameras and related hardware and software.

The Council would like to understand from leading providers how these requirements might best be met and is, therefore, carrying out a soft market testing exercise to engage in early informal dialogue, prior to any formal procurement taking place. Organizations that are interested in participating in this exercise are invited to complete the below questionnaire and submit via the ProContract eTendering Portal. The closing date for written responses is 12.00PM on Thursday 19th December 2019.

We require all responses in writing, following this we may also invite organisations to come and meet with us.

Please note: This is not a call for competition. For the avoidance of doubt, this notice is for the purpose of conducting a soft market testing exercise, and will not formally begin the procurement or constitute any commitment by Hackney Council to undertake any procurement exercise.
