Summary of the contracting process

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is buying a paid parking service for Kingston. The service enables drivers to book and pay for parking sessions, collects parking fees and transfers the revenue to the council after deducting service fees. This is a software-enabled service (CPV 48100000), rather than a purchase of parking infrastructure or civil works. Delivery is associated with Kingston upon Thames; the listed delivery locations also include the United Kingdom and other broad locations. The requirement is therefore relevant to providers of parking payment platforms and services that can support the booking and payment journey, handle fee collection and remit parking revenue to a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to RingGo Ltd. The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames used a direct award. The award date was 25 September 2026, and the recorded awarded value is £100,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £100,000. The service was evaluated and awarded through the direct award route; no lots are recorded. The procurement description sets out the service requirement as booking and payment for parking sessions, collection of fees and remittance of revenue after service fees. The reported contract period is the period associated with the award.

This award demonstrates demand from Kingston upon Thames for an end-to-end paid parking service, not just a payment application: a credible supplier needs to enable session booking and payment, collect fees reliably and account for revenue remitted to the council after service charges. The selected provider, RingGo Ltd, is recorded as a large supplier, and the council marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. That indicates a requirement positioned for an established operator with the capacity to run the service and manage payment and revenue flows at borough level. Providers competing for this buyer’s equivalent requirement would need proven parking payment capability and dependable financial settlement processes tailored to local-authority operations.
