Provision of personnel including temporary staff for parking enforcement services. The Council is introducing a new operating model for parking services, which will focus on how the kerbside is managed. To facilitate this, the Council is seeking to procure a service provider to provide Traffic Marshals whose role will be to help residents, workers, businesses and visitors park compliantly. Coupled with the implementation of new technology being procured under a separate tender, Traffic Marshals will provide information on where parking spaces are available, and seek to ensure the highest possible compliant occupancy. The Traffic Marshals will retain and exercise the powers of a Civil Enforcement Officer, and where appropriate they will be able to issue Parking Charge Notices or Fixed Penalty Notices, should this become necessary.
The Council requires a flexible pool of Traffic Marshals. This pool will fluctuate up or down within prescribed limits and notice periods as the needs of the Council require. Strategic deployment of the resource will be managed by the Council. The service provider will be responsible for ensuring that the Traffic Marshals required by the Council are available for deployment. The resource will need to be fully trained and supplied with uniforms in accordance with the Council’s requirements.
In summary the service provider will provide Traffic Marshals who shall as a minimum:
- Advise motorists on where and when they may park their vehicles.
- Direct motorists to available spaces.
- Assist members of the public generally.
- Improve bay utilisation and compliance to manage the finite amount of kerb space effectively.
- Interact with businesses and other stakeholders on an ad hoc basis.
- Carry out supplementary activities as and when required e.g. suspensions, fault reporting.
- Issue PCNs and / or Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) when appropriate.
- Take appropriate action (such as; moving vehicles on, driver education, provision of information and assistance, directing to nearest parking place, or issuing a PCN).
- Work with other Council departments and suppliers to ensure the City is clean, safe and well managed.
- Manage access to restricted areas e.g Leicester Square
- Assist at special or one off events.
- Perform other related activities within the capabilities of the marshalling resource.
