Summary of the contracting process

The mhs homes group, a public authority classified as sub-central government, has initiated a planning stage for a procurement process titled "Parking Management". This procurement focuses on the services category and is set in the region of Medway and North Kent, located in the United Kingdom. The current stage is a Request for Information (RFI) which invites local car parking management companies to participate by completing a form by 3rd July 2026. This process is not a formal tender or quotation exercise but is aimed at gathering information to enhance market knowledge ahead of a potential contract commencing on 1st October 2026, lasting until 30th September 2029, with a possibility of renewal up to 2030.

This tender presents an opportunity for local businesses involved in car park management services to showcase their capabilities and potentially influence future contract specifications. Businesses offering enforcement, permit management, advisory services on commercial viability and space utilisation, as well as resident engagement and signage, would find this opportunity particularly aligned with their services. The procurement process is designed with suitability for SMEs in mind, making it an ideal growth opportunity for smaller enterprises looking to expand their market reach within the services category in Medway and North Kent.
