Summary of the contracting process

West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust procured parking permits to support the HHH Vanguard Endoscopy Service. The requirement is a service rather than the purchase of parking infrastructure or construction works, covering access to parking for activity connected with the endoscopy service. Delivery is associated with Watford General Hospital on Vicarage Road, Watford. The named service category is parking services (CPV 63712400). This is a hospital-facing requirement, so it is relevant to parking operators and permit providers able to support staff, patients, visitors or service users who need controlled parking access linked to NHS clinical activity at the hospital.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to National Car Parks Limited. It used a direct award by waiver under the Trust’s standing financial instructions, described as below-threshold without competition, and comprised one completed lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 9 June 2026 and runs from 10 June 2026 to 10 September 2026. Its value is £12,364.80 excluding VAT and £14,837.76 including VAT. The buyer’s published outcome identifies National Car Parks Limited as the selected supplier. The evaluation basis is therefore the approved waiver and direct-award route rather than a competitive scoring process.

This award provides a clear example of demand from West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust for managed parking access supporting a specialist hospital service. A competitor preparing for a future requirement would need to provide parking permits reliably, understand access arrangements at a hospital site and support the operational needs of an endoscopy service. Experience working with NHS organisations or other complex healthcare environments would help demonstrate that staff, patients and visitors can be managed appropriately without disrupting clinical activity. The successful supplier is a large parking operator, indicating that established parking-management capability, dependable administration and the capacity to support a hospital-scale customer are relevant commercial strengths.
