Places 00130 Car Parks - Asset Renewal Programme

This Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) aims to gather information from the market to help inform our procurement strategy and further develop our requirements, ensuring they align with existing technical solution along with emerging developments.

The Car Park Portfolio currently consists of 75 station car parks distributed across greater London, including some beyond the M25. The existing infrastructure is reaching its life expectancy with components being superseded with new technology.

The renewal of the infrastructure (lighting columns, light heads and CCTV) within Places for London's station car park portfolio to upgrade life expiring assets aims to significantly reduce operational costs and installation cost, as well as support Places' and Transport for London's objective to meet its Net Zero target by 2040, through minimising Carbon footprint of both installation and ongoing operations.

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to:

i. provide advance notice that Places for London is considering to undertake a tendering exercise to set up a new contract;

ii. understand the market interest in this procurement;

iii. identify suppliers who would like to participate in the Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) as part of our Early Market Engagement (EME) process to provide the works/ supplies outlined in this PIN notice.
