The City’s Revenue’s team will work directly with the top two, and the 3rd placed bidder will be reserve supplier (used on a contingency basis), dependent on volume and performance of the top two. The City’s Parking Ticket team will work directly with each of the top 3 bidders. For the call-off process relating to the distribution of work across successful bidders, please see Appendix D of the service specification – Tender Specification document. Parking enforcement will award cases equaling all three of the top scoring bidders.  This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system ‘City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal’ (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/).
