Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council has completed the procurement process for a back office system that integrates with Flowbird Parking Machines. The contract, valued at £350,944.24 and classified under the software package and information systems industry (CPV: 48000000), was awarded to Flowbird Smart City UK Limited. The procurement followed a limited method, negotiated without a call for competition. Key dates include the VEAT notice publication on 06/09/2024, the standstill period ending on 16/09/2024, and the contract period ranging from 20/10/2024 to 31/03/2028. The back office system is necessary due to the Council's existing Flowbird Parking Machines, and its delivery is intended for the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software solutions for smart cities, particularly those capable of integrating with existing parking infrastructure. While the procurement method limits competition, it offers opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage with public sector contracts. Companies with expertise in parking system integration, and those looking to expand their market presence in the South East of England, would find this contract particularly beneficial for business growth.

Notice Title

Back office system that integrates with Flowbird Parking Machines

Notice Description

Flowbird Parking Machines that the Council purchased require the Smartfolio back office system as this is the only system that integrates with the Flowbird machines and therefore they are the only provider able to meet this requirement. For as long as the parking machines are in use we will require access to this system which is why the end date is 31/03/2028 as it is anticipated that the Council will have a different approach/situation before this date and it is expected that a review of the Council's ticket machine requirements will take place well in advance of 31/03/2028. A VEAT notice was published (ref 2024/S 000-028626) with a standstill period from 06/09/2024 to midnight on 16/09/2024.
