Can you Help?
Lichfield District Council have a requirement to procure new car parking payment machines and also to enter a contract to cover the service costs over a five year period. In total over the five year period they estimate that the project value may be in the region of £175k (purchase and service contract). Lichfield would be interested in either an opportunity to access an existing contract or to partner with any other partner or agency that might have a similar requirement.
