This contract, valued at £411,660, relates to the maintenance of pay display parking machines under the industry category of car park control equipment (CPV: 34926000). The procurement was executed using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

The postal delivery address for the contract activity is in the postcode area PR1 0LD, Lancashire, England.

Businesses involved or looking to expand in the car park control equipment sector could find potential collaboration opportunities with Lancashire County Council for similar projects or future tenders. As the awarded contract spans a two-year period, it provides continuous engagement and stability within the sector.
