Following a review of a city centre car park (Bath Podium), Parking Matters recommended a number of improvements including a redesign of the car park, refurbishment options, a new parking management system and a revised tariff regime. As part of the implementation of our recommendations we specified a new parking management system as part of a tender exercise conducted by the client’s project team.

What we did

  • Conducted a pre-acquisition review of the Bath Podium car park culminating in recommendations to improve the customer experience and net operating income.
  • Specified a parking management technology package including barriers, payment machines, back office (including remote management functionality) and reporting systems
  • Created a pricing schedule to standardise supplier quotes.
  • Responded to clarification questions from suppliers
  • Evaluated bids and recommended a preferred supplier.
  • Project-managed the implementation of the equipment installation.

Outcome

  • A successfully procured and commissioned parking management system as part of the wider refurbishment of the car park.
  • Significantly improved management data and reporting functionality.
  • A quality visitor experience for car park users
  • The Bath Podium Car Park took first place in the ‘Best Renovation category’ at the British Parking Awards 2023
