Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council procured parking services for the Glassworks and Alhambra multistorey car parks. The requirement is an entry and exit management solution for the car parks at the Alhambra shopping centre, covering the control and management of vehicle access and departure. The work is delivered in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, within the Yorkshire and the Humber area. This is a technology-enabled parking operation rather than construction, general facilities management or the supply of vehicles. Businesses specialising in car park access control, parking management systems and associated equipment or support services would be the closest fit. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement relates specifically to its public multistorey car park facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award procedure. Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council awarded the contract to FAAC (U.K.) Limited trading as Hub Parking Technology on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £103,007. The award contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2031. The tender record gives a contract period of 23 July 2026 to 19 July 2031 and a tender submission deadline of 22 July 2026 at 10:00, but the award record sets the operative awarded period from 20 July 2026. The service category is parking services. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a substantial, long-term requirement for integrated entry and exit management at council-owned multistorey car parks in Barnsley. Suppliers considering future competition for this buyer would need credible expertise in parking access systems, including the equipment, software and operational support needed to manage vehicle movements reliably at busy public facilities. Relevant capability would include designing or supporting solutions for multiple car parks, maintaining payment or access-control infrastructure, responding to faults and providing continuity throughout a multi-year service arrangement. The selected supplier is a large parking technology business, indicating that the buyer valued an established specialist able to deliver and support a complete parking-management solution rather than a small standalone installation. Experience with local-authority or other public car park environments would strengthen a competitor’s position.
