The contract is for a complete resurfacing of the car park, and to increase the number of parking spaces to 206, along with 10 disabled bays.
The council will also require the contractors to undertake trunking and ductwork in preparation for the installation of electric vehicle charging points.
A separate contract will be procured to install the charging points.
While it is unclear if any disruption will be caused by the works, the resurfacing contract is due to start on November 8 and last for three weeks.
Companies wishing to undertake the work have until October 20 to bid for the contract.
