Summary of the contracting process

South Kesteven District Council has completed a procurement process titled "Replacement car park machines," aimed at acquiring 24 new car park machines and their ongoing maintenance. This procurement falls under the car park control equipment industry category and was intended for locations in the UKF region. The procurement utilised a direct award, specifically through the ESPO Framework Agreement, and did not require prior publication due to the scope of the directive being outside standard application. The procurement stage is marked as "complete" with the contract awarded to Metric Group on the 30th of October, 2025, valued at £149,704.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses specialising in car park control equipment and services, particularly those capable of handling both product provision and maintenance. Companies like Metric Group, known for their expertise and efficiency in delivering car park management solutions, are ideally positioned to benefit from such tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative products or strong maintenance service offerings may find similar opportunities particularly beneficial for growth and an expanded portfolio, especially within regional or local authority procurement preferences.
