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
