Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Cashless Parking Solution" involves Cotswold District Council and Forest of Dean District Council as the buying organisations, operating under the industry category of parking services. This contract, valued at £202,162, was awarded by 8th April 2026. Despite the tender phase involving direct award without prior publication due to its falling outside the directive's scope, the contract was successfully completed. The solution encompasses 24 sites, with 15 in Cotswold District and 9 in the Forest of Dean District, located in the UKK13 region.

This tender presents growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in cashless payment solutions and parking management services. PaybyPhone Ltd, an SME based in Hatfield, UK, was the awarded supplier, indicating potential advantages for medium-sized enterprises to engage in competitive and profitable partnerships within the public sector.
