Parking Occupancy Surveys 2026/27

North Hertfordshire District Council invites quotations from invited suppliers for Parking Occupancy Surveys 2026/27 (NHDC01156262), to provide local evidence for new parking standards in the Design Code Supplementary Plan and Local Plan.

The services comprise parking occupancy surveys at 27 primary sites across North Hertfordshire, covering each site's own parking and surrounding on-street parking; parking inventories and supporting evidence; a quality-checked dataset in the Council's survey record format; and an inception programme, survey methodology, final method note and data summary. The Supplier provides survey evidence and analysis; development of the Council's parking standards is outside this contract.

Primary surveys are priced on a fixed-price basis. Additional surveys may be instructed in writing within the available budget at the quoted rates per site and applicable uplifts. No minimum number of additional surveys is guaranteed. Full survey requirements, seasonal windows, deliverables, data protection requirements, KPIs and acceptance arrangements are set out in the Specification of Requirements.

The estimated contract value / available budget is £49,500 excluding VAT. The contract period is 9 December 2026 to 30 June 2027. Priority December sites P1 to P3 must be surveyed on Saturday 12 or 19 December 2026, subject to the Specification. Mobilisation and the survey programme must address the December seasonal window.

Award is based on 50% quality and 50% price. The four quality questions carry 20%, 15%, 10% and 5% respectively. The Council will calculate the Evaluated Price using the fixed prices and notional additional survey quantities and uplifts stated in the RFQ.

Clarifications must be submitted through In-Tend by 12:00 noon on Friday 20 November 2026. Quotations must be submitted through In-Tend by 12:00 noon on Friday 27 November 2026.
