Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ashford Borough Council commissioned an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system for Elwick Place Car Park. The requirement covers car park control equipment and related services, classified under CPV 34926000. Delivery is in Ashford, in the South East of England. The system is intended to support control and management of the car park through automatic vehicle numberplate recognition. The council is the buying organisation and the work is categorised as services. This is a focused parking technology requirement rather than a general construction, facilities management or transport services contract, so it is most relevant to suppliers that design, supply, install or support ANPR and associated car park control systems.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 July 2026 to HUB PARKING TECHNOLOGY, a business unit of FAAC UK Ltd. The award value is £69,987.67 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2031. It was a selective call-off from the ESPO framework agreement, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026 at 10:00 BST. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as active, with one supplier selected for the ANPR system and associated car park control services. The published procurement information does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates a defined council need for specialist ANPR and car park control technology at a single council car park. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable automatic numberplate recognition, integrate it with car park control operations, and support the system throughout a long-term service arrangement. Relevant capability is likely to include parking technology delivery, installation, commissioning, maintenance and customer support, with the capacity to work for a local authority in Ashford. The award also shows that a small or medium-sized specialist can be considered through a public-sector framework call-off, making framework access and a demonstrable track record in comparable parking control systems commercially important.
