UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a car parking software solution for its operations. The procurement covered software packages and information systems, with delivery across the United Kingdom. UKRI was the buying organisation and UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as its shared service provider. The requirement was treated as a goods procurement, although the practical scope is a digital software solution rather than physical equipment. The selected solution was supplied by Parkpnp Ltd. trading as Wayleadr, an Ireland-based small and medium-sized enterprise. Businesses specialising in parking-management platforms, workplace parking systems or related software for public-sector organisations would find the requirement most relevant, particularly where their products support the management of car-parking arrangements across multiple UK locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Parkpnp Ltd. trading as Wayleadr. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £16,068 excluding VAT, or £19,281.60 including VAT. There was one completed lot and one active award. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, because it considered that only one supplier could provide the required solution for technical reasons. The award therefore reflects a concluded procurement rather than a competitive tender. The published evaluation outcome was selection of the identified supplier under that technical-compatibility rationale; no separate price or quality weighting is stated in the procurement information.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement within UKRI for a car parking software solution, delivered as a relatively contained public-sector technology contract. The route used was a below-threshold direct award based on the view that technical reasons left only one capable supplier, so a future competitor would need to demonstrate clear product differentiation and explain why its platform could meet the buyer’s technical requirements. Relevant suppliers would be parking-technology businesses with a proven software product, implementation capability and experience supporting organisational parking operations in the United Kingdom. Credibility would depend on being able to evidence technical compatibility, dependable service delivery and the capacity to support the solution throughout the contract lifecycle. Smaller specialist technology firms may also be relevant, as the selected supplier is an SME.
