## About this tender

The Department for Transport (DfT) is currently undertaking a consultation on options to help local authorities tackle the problem of pavement parking. The consultation closes on 22 November 2020. There has been a much higher response that anticipated and we are seeking some assistance in summarising the public response in order that we may publish a timely summary of the consultation following its conclusion.

[gov.uk](https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/managing-pavement-parking/pavement-parking-options-for-change)

Last year the DfT completed an evidence review looking at the problems caused by pavement parking, the effectiveness of current legislation, and the case for reform. The evidence review identified 2 main options for possible legislative change, should this be considered necessary

In April 2019, the Transport Select Committee launched an inquiry into pavement parking. Their report was published on 9 September 2019. They recommended that the government consult on the same two options: allowing local authorities to enforce against ad hoc instances of obstructive pavement parking; and a nationwide prohibition on pavement parking across England, similar to the prohibition currently applying in London. Additionally, the DfT is asking whether its work to improve the Traffic Regulation Order process (by which local authorities can introduce local pavement parking restrictions) would be sufficient, alone, to tackle the issue. We are also asking for any alternative ideas that respondents may have.

The consultation began on 31st August 2020 and will run for 12 weeks until 22 November 2020.

We have received approximately 10,000 replies in the first 6 weeks, although the response rate has tailed off considerably (currently down to approx. 500 per week). We expect the volume of replies from the general public to tail-off further as the consultation draws to a close and the final figure to be around 12,000.

We wish to publish a summary of responses within 3 months of the consultation closing but will be unable to process this volume of replies in-house. We are therefore seeking to outsource the processing of replies from individuals.

Suppliers will need to register to the Department for Transport's e-Souring Portal [dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html](https://dft.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html) in order to access the tender pack, and to submit their bids.
