UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales, a central government public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations, has completed a contract to install a new parking barrier and counting system at Newborough. This project involves the removal of existing infrastructure and installation of barrierless ANPR technology to manage traffic and monitor real-time car counts at the site. Located in Cardiff, the authority sought a direct procurement method below the competitive threshold, and the contract has been awarded and signed with First Parking LLP. The total contract value is £30,568.00, running from 20th July 2026 to 30th June 2031, highlighting the procurement stage as 'Award'.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in installation services of parking meter equipment and the supply of control, safety, or signalling equipment for parking facilities. Although the procurement method was direct and without competition, companies proficient in ANPR systems and traffic management solutions might find future opportunities for collaboration with public authorities like Natural Resources Wales. The contract's focus on modernising infrastructure at a regional level underscores a demand for technical expertise in the public sector, offering growth potential for SMEs engaged in these specialised services.
