MBC-1596 Car Parking Machine Replacement

Location

Leicestershire CC and Rutland:

Description

The Council would like to hear from providers who can support with the potential replacement and upgrade of the pay and display car parking machines in the off-street car parks. There are 19 machines in total over 9 car parks. Some of the current machines have an electrical supply, while some are powered using solar energy with battery storage. The current machines only allow for cash collection. The Council would like the new machines to remove the option for cash payment, allowing contactless and online / app payments only. The Council would also like to explore if rationalisation is possible in some of the car parks that currently have 2 or 3 machines. In addition, the Council would like to assess the viability of installing ANPR cameras in each car park. The Council would like these cameras to be used for providing evidence in any Penalty Charge Notices issued. The Council is open to how this requirement may be delivered, and how providers approach this work, especially given the lack of mains electrical supply and data connections to some of the car parks.
