Summary of the contracting process

East Suffolk Council has completed a procurement process for the purchase and replacement of 96 full-size pay and display machines with 73 full-size coin and contactless machines, alongside 40 smaller wall and post-mounted contactless machines, within the council's jurisdiction, spanning from Lowestoft to Felixstowe. The tender, categorised under the car park control equipment industry, used a restricted procedure and underwent a selective procurement method. The procurement process concluded with an award status on 1st October 2025, with the contract period running through the end of December 2025. The tender aimed to serve various locations including the United Kingdom and numerous international zones.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in car park control equipment, specifically those capable of providing both full-size and compact pay and display solutions. Companies like International Parking Systems Ltd, which successfully secured the contract, illustrate that businesses well-versed in offering modern, coin and contactless payment solutions are well-suited for such tenders. While the opportunity may not directly focus on SMEs or VCSEs, larger businesses with a robust infrastructure in handling substantial bulk installations across multiple locations would find opportunities for growth in similar tenders from public sector bodies.
