UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Boroughs of Wandsworth and Richmond upon Thames intend to procure a cashless parking service, classified as parking services. The service will enable motorists and other parking users to pay for parking at all designated on-street and off-street parking locations across both boroughs. The arrangement is treated as a concession service and will support parking operations in London, including locations within Wandsworth and Richmond. This is a joint requirement involving both councils, with Wandsworth identified as the buyer. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide and operate a parking payment service that can serve different types of designated parking location across two London boroughs, rather than a single-site or standalone installation.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the councils have stated an intention to procure, but have not issued an invitation to tender. The expected procedure is a concession arrangement above the relevant threshold. The requirement is planned as one lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The indicative contract period is 1 July 2028 to 30 June 2033, with a possible extension to 30 June 2035; the buyer has indicated that renewal may be used. The indicative value is £4,200,000 excluding VAT and £5,040,000 including VAT. The councils expected to publish a future notice by 1 July 2027. Planned market engagement sought responses to questions in the SMTE document, with responses due by 21 September 2026.

The requirement is likely to suit suppliers that develop, supply or operate cashless parking payment systems for both on-street and off-street environments. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate that their service can support users paying for parking across multiple locations and can be managed consistently across two London local authorities. Relevant experience may include parking technology, payment processing, customer-facing payment channels and operational support for public parking services. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers may be well placed to prepare a response, either independently or through a delivery partnership. As this is still market engagement, interested suppliers should use the planning period to consider the service model, technical capability, implementation approach and evidence of comparable delivery before a formal procurement is issued.
