What is being bought

Published requirement description

The is the award notice relating to:

Requirement:

The University of Winchester wishes to upgrade its car parking systems across its car parks

and requires a Supplier that can introduce and where possible, manage a technology-based

parking solution at each location. Where ANPR is not a viable solution, the University will

consider continuing with the current integrated self-patrol system via the Security Team at

least in the short term. However, where continuity and frequency of visits can be

demonstrated a Supplier managed foot patrol would be preferable.

The University is keen to appoint a company with a collaborative outlook that aims to work

with clients to tackle their differing needs. They must demonstrate their desire to work with

the University more as colleagues than as a Supplier to improve the efficiency and

effectiveness of the contract.
