UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural Resources Wales procured a new parking barrier and vehicle-counting system for its Newborough site. The requirement covers a barrier to control traffic, a system that counts vehicles on the site in real time, and place-based adaptations requested by Newborough. The work also includes removing existing infrastructure, including the old barrier and payment machines. Natural Resources Wales already has the relevant hardware and software infrastructure at Newborough and has an arrangement with First Parking for barrierless automatic number plate recognition at BNyA, CyB and Newborough. This is primarily a goods requirement, including parking-facility control, safety and signalling equipment and associated installation services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the named public-sector buyer based in Cardiff.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to First Parking LLP on 17 July 2026. Natural Resources Wales used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 17 July 2026 and runs from 20 July 2026 to 30 June 2031. Its value is £30,568 excluding VAT, or £36,681.60 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. The selected supplier is an SME. Evaluation was therefore not conducted through a competitive tender; the published route was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The contract concerns the Newborough parking barrier and counting system, including the associated installation and removal work described in the requirement.

This award indicates demand from Natural Resources Wales for integrated parking-control infrastructure at managed sites, combining physical traffic barriers with real-time vehicle counting and automatic number plate recognition arrangements. Suppliers seeking to compete for a future requirement of this type would need credible capability in parking-facility control and signalling equipment, barrier installation, vehicle-counting technology and system integration. Experience adapting an existing installation to local site requirements would be relevant, as would the ability to remove legacy barriers and payment machines while working with hardware and software already in place. The award also shows that a smaller specialist supplier can be selected for this scale of requirement, provided it can deliver the equipment, installation and site transition as a coherent service for Natural Resources Wales.
