Lahore Parking Company (LE-PARK) is going start a pre-bid conference to rent out all parking sites in the provincial capital, Pakistan Today has learnt.
The company will hold a pre-bid conference on March 3 which will enable the company to rent out the whole metropolitan parking sites to a single contractor. The main focus of the company is to provide an automation parking to the citizens of Lahore.
The Lahore Parking Company Limited (LPCL), established under the provisions of the Companies Ordinance, 1984, is a part of City District Government Lahore. Le-Park has been established to provide comprehensive management and operations of parking facilities in order to resolve parking problems in Lahore.
According to details, the companies or the organisation that have five years experience of automation parking system will be able to bid. The local contractor may come with the joint ventures.
For the first time, the city’s parking space would be hired out a single contractor.
“The company has the mandate to provide organized, secure and automated parking systems to the residents and we have taken this step to assure the same,” officials of LePark said while talking to Pakistan Today.
Local contractors have expressed reservations over the 5-year experience limit set by LePark.
“We are citizens and we have experience also. We should be given the right to bid too but we can’t because we aren’t experienced in automated parking,” a local contractor said.
