Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council procured a parking services management contract covering civil parking enforcement and the regulatory and statutory functions of a highway authority under the Traffic Management Act 2004. The requirement is for parking enforcement services delivered in Wokingham Borough. The work involves managing enforcement operations to support the Council’s highway authority responsibilities and provide a high-quality parking services function. This is a public-sector services opportunity for organisations experienced in parking management, civil enforcement and the administration of statutory traffic enforcement duties. The Council is the buyer and contracting authority, with delivery focused on its local authority area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026 to Marston Holdings Limited for £12,769,410 gross. It used a competitive selective procedure, with the award made under the Crown Commercial Service Parking Management framework. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with renewal options of three additional two-year periods, allowing operation until 30 September 2036. A future contract signature milestone is due on 7 August 2026. The award covers the complete parking services requirement and is above the relevant threshold. The published outcome identifies Marston Holdings Limited as the successful supplier.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Wokingham Borough Council for outsourced parking management and civil parking enforcement at substantial local-authority scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to manage enforcement services across a borough, apply the regulatory and statutory duties of a highway authority, and work within the Traffic Management Act 2004 framework. Relevant experience should include end-to-end parking enforcement management, dependable service delivery, capable operational teams and systems for administering enforcement activity. Suppliers should also be able to explain their delivery model, capacity, social value and local benefits, and how they would support collaborative and flexible arrangements with the Council.
