Parking services

Tender description

Single party framework agreement for provision of cashless parking payment service for on-street parking for Dublin City Council, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council, Kildare County Council. Dublin City Council seeks to establish a single party framework for four years for the provision of a cashless payment service for on-street parking on behalf of Dublin City Council, Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, Fingal County Council, South Dublin County Council and Kildare County Council. An initial contract will be awarded for the Dublin City Council administrative area for a period of three years with an option to extend for a period of 12 months, at the sole discretion of Dublin City Council. For the avoidance of all doubt, the maximum framework agreement term is 4 years, however contracts may be awarded which extend beyond the lifetime of the framework. Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, South Dublin County Council, Fingal County Council and Kildare County Council are also eligible to use these arrangements. However there is no obligation on any of the above-mentioned to award any contract under this framework agreement. Such a decision will be a matter for these local authorities. Dublin City Council will not be responsible for brokering an agreement between the successful tenderers and Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council, South Dublin County Council, Fingal County Council and Kildare County Council should they decide to participate in the framework agreement. Dublin City Council is seeking a fully managed system that facilitates cashless parking payment transactions for on-street parking in for motorists who are parking tag account holders and once off users, with easy to use graphical user interfaces, through a variety of interface channels (SMS, smartphone application, online, interactive voice response, retail) using a number of cashless mediums (credit/debit card, mobile phone, retail transactions, etc.).
