Summary of the contracting process

Brighton and Hove City Council is planning a procurement process for parking payment software and hardware aimed at enhancing both cashless parking services and on-street payments, including four barrier car parks and up to 30 on-street machines, with a potential for 350,000 cashless transactions per month. This opportunity falls under the services category within the parking services industry, located in the UK region of UKJ. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with market engagement activities scheduled, including direct engagement with suppliers, who can express interest by emailing either the Council or ParkingProjects@brighton-hove.gov.uk by 10 April 2026.

It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the procurement's structure and market engagement process. The emphasis on supplier engagement and demonstration of services offers businesses the chance to showcase innovative solutions and secure a long-term contract, fostering potential growth and expansion within the public sector domain.
