The West Northamptonshire Council has awarded a contract to SCHEIDT & BACHMANN (UK) LIMITED for the installation of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) equipment in a council-managed car park. This procurement process, which falls under the industry category of car park control equipment, operates under the sub-central government classification. The awarding of the contract was executed using a direct procurement method due to its below-threshold specification, thus bypassing competition. The procurement stage has reached completion with the contract term set to commence on 2nd November 2025 and conclude on 1st January 2026. Located in Northampton, the successful completion of this tender was formalised on 27th October 2025.

The ANPR equipment installation presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in goods related to car park controls. Companies capable of providing consultancy, equipment supply, or installation services within the transport infrastructure sector stand to gain significantly from such projects. This contract underscores growth avenues for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by engaging them through direct procurement with sub-central government authorities. The nature of the project—integrating key infrastructure components such as cameras, network connectivity, and power supplies—suggests that businesses with expertise in comprehensive system integration and infrastructure support are particularly well-suited for similar future opportunities.
