Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth City Council procured services for parking enforcement and management systems. The requirement is a fully integrated system to support the council’s statutory duties for traffic management, bus lane contraventions and moving traffic enforcement, together with associated debt recovery and tribunal processes. This is Phase 2 of the requirement. The services include, where required, an options paper; selection of suppliers; a full competitive tender process; high-level solution design; a cyber assessment; and production of a delivery plan. The work is information technology consultancy, software development, internet and support services, delivered for Plymouth City Council in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the arrangement is intended to help it operate its parking enforcement responsibilities efficiently.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Delt Shared Services Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The award and contract were dated 27 August 2026. The contract runs from 27 August 2026 to 28 February 2027. Its value is £285,212.58 excluding VAT and £342,255.09 including VAT. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026. The published information identifies the requirement as services and records the supplier as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement description includes a competitive tender process as part of the supplier’s Phase 2 delivery activities, but the council’s route to this contract was direct award without competition.

This award demonstrates demand from Plymouth City Council for integrated parking enforcement and management technology, rather than a standalone software product. Suppliers seeking comparable future work would need to combine parking, bus lane and moving traffic enforcement capabilities with debt recovery and tribunal-process support. Credible providers would also need to undertake options analysis, supplier selection and competitive tender support, then translate requirements into a high-level solution design and a practical delivery plan. Cyber assessment capability is relevant, as is experience integrating systems used to discharge statutory traffic-management duties. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale can be undertaken by a focused specialist rather than only by a major systems integrator. Familiarity with UK local-authority environments would strengthen a competing proposition.
