Summary of the contracting process

The procurement was carried out via a single tender action (below threshold), and the contract has been awarded to Parking Matters Limited. The contract, valued at £150,000, will span from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025, and the services will cover multiple locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The procurement reached its award stage on 18 February 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs, particularly those specialising in software development and IT services, to gain visibility and business growth through collaboration with a major government department. Companies with expertise in software and information systems, and those capable of providing tailored technical support for national platforms, will find this contract highly suitable for showcasing their capabilities and expanding their market presence. This procurement highlights an inclusive opportunity particularly for small and medium enterprises, although the process indicated no specific preference for voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).
