Summary of the contracting process

The University of Worcester has concluded a public procurement process for the provision of an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system, covering several sites. This contract falls under the surveillance system industry category and is valued at £150,000. The contract, awarded to Parking Eye, will be active from 14 April 2026 to 16 March 2031, following a selective procurement method that utilised the ESPO 509_23 framework under a call-off agreement. While the procurement stage has reached the award phase, key dates included the tender period end date on 27 November 2025. The primary location for this service is within Worcester, England.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in surveillance systems and car park management services. Organisations capable of delivering complex, large-scale infrastructure related to ANPR solutions would find this procurement particularly suitable to demonstrate their expertise and innovation within the sector. Additionally, firms experienced in engaging with educational institutions can leverage this opportunity to strengthen connections in the public sector, especially given the public entity nature of the buyer, the University of Worcester.
