Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council sought a new back office system for civil parking enforcement via an open procurement procedure under the CPV classification for Parking enforcement services. This tender aimed to enhance the processing of Penalty Charge Notices, parking permits, and related services using advanced geolocation and interactive software solutions. Initially announced on 23 January 2025, the procurement process experienced adjustments with the tender return date extended to 27 February 2025, though the initiative was later cancelled as of 25 June 2025, during the award stage. The opportunity primarily catered to service providers able to offer sophisticated IT services with a total estimated contract value of £850,000 over a period intended to begin on 28 April 2025, until 31 January 2031.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses in IT consultancy, software development, and parking services sectors, especially those capable of delivering comprehensive digital solutions integrated into urban traffic and parking management. Companies skilled in handling electronic submissions and offering competitive pricing alongside quality and social value would have found this project advantageous. Such a tender promotes technological advancements within public service domains, fostering business expansion through collaboration with local authorities like Sheffield City Council, thereby facilitating opportunities to engage in long-term government contracts.
