Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council sought to upgrade its ticket issuing machine network through a procurement process titled "PKC13427 Ticket Issuing Machines," classified under the industry category of parking meters (CPV code 38730000). The tender was open with electronic submission methods and included specific selection criteria related to experience, economic standing, and technical ability. Initially valued at £1,800,000, the project was planned for the UKM77 region in Perth. While the tender stage faced amendments, extending initial deadlines to 21st July 2025, the tender was ultimately cancelled as of 11th September 2025, due to the award being unsuccessful and discontinued.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses engaged in supplying modern, reliable, secure, and environmentally sustainable parking management solutions. Companies with proven expertise in installing ticket machines, including the necessary permits and traffic management, would have been well-suited to bid. Firms with financial stability and capabilities documented by prior experience in similar contracts could leverage this procurement to establish or expand their regional operations, particularly those meeting requirements such as insurance coverage and technical qualifications outlined by the council. Despite its cancellation, future opportunities in this sector remain valuable for interested businesses.
