Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the WEST NORTHAMPTONSHIRE PARKING STRATEGY was conducted by West Northamptonshire Council. The project falls under the parking services industry category and is situated in England, with postal code NN11ED. This process has reached the award stage, and the contract was awarded on 2nd December 2015, with the award notice being published on 27th January 2026. The contract period extends from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2029. The procurement method used was a waiver due to the unavailability of other payment service providers, resulting in the selection of 3C PAYMENT UK LTD for the contract valued at £24,181 GBP.

This tender creates business growth opportunities, particularly for companies that offer specialised payment services for parking solutions. Given that the procurement method was a waiver, businesses with unique solutions or limited competition in their respective fields may find such opportunities particularly accessible. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have been noted as suitable for engaging in this procurement process, although voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSE) are not defined as suitable. Companies in the parking and payment service sectors could leverage this contract to expand within the public service domain.
