two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Inverclyde Council introduced DPE (Decriminilised Parking Enforcement) during October 2014. The scheme handles parking violations for both on and off street parking spaces operated under both free short stay parking restrictions and paid long stay parking. The average yearly Penalty Charge Notices issued throughout the area is 5,000.
In April 2016 Residents’ Parking Permits were introduced in Greenock and we now have 8 permit holder zones in our 3 main town centres. Currently we issue approximately 390 residents’ parking permits per year. The permits are paperless with the vehicle details held on the Parking Attendant’s handheld computer. Within the term of the new contract we propose to introduce a Business Parking Permit Scheme where we propose to issue a maximum of 500 business parking permits per year.
The number of PCNs issued are expected to increase as the result of enforcement action under the Transport (Scotland) Act 2019 for pavement parking, double parking and dropped kerb parking. The exact date for this enforcement is unknown at present. We estimate we will issue 1,000 PCNs per year.
Inverclyde Council wishes to engage a Service Provider to provide back office support. It is envisaged that the successful bidder will have an established PCN processing and paperless permit systems already in operation which can accommodate the needs of Inverclyde Council.
