UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council intends to procure services for managing paid car parks and processing penalty charge notices. The work covers car park management, including the administration and processing of penalties arising from parking enforcement. It is a public-sector services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. Delivery is across the council’s area in Northern Ireland. The procurement is suited to organisations providing operational car park management, parking enforcement administration and penalty charge notice processing. Suppliers may need to coordinate day-to-day parking operations with accurate, compliant handling of penalty notices and related records. The council has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale should consider preparing for the later competition.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced an intention to buy but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure for a single planned lot. The contract is expected to run from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2031, a five-year period. The procurement is above the applicable threshold. The council’s expected date for the next notice is 10 August 2026; this is an indicative publication date, not a deadline for responses. The planned requirement is for services, with the award process expected to be open to qualifying suppliers. The available information sets out the scope and intended procedure but does not include a contract value, budget, tender deadline or evaluation weighting.

This requirement should suit parking management companies and specialist operators with experience of managing paid parking facilities and processing penalty charge notices. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating reliable operational systems, accurate handling of enforcement records, secure administration and the ability to manage customer or motorist queries arising from parking charges. Experience coordinating parking activity across multiple sites would be useful, as would evidence of delivering similar public-sector or regulated parking services. Suppliers should be ready to explain how they would maintain consistent processes, protect data and support the council’s enforcement objectives. The council has expressly indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be well placed to compete when the procurement reaches the market.
