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. It will enable users to pay for parking at all designated on-street and off-street parking locations across both boroughs. This is a public service contract for parking services, covering delivery in London across Wandsworth and Richmond. The arrangement is being considered as a concession, so suppliers should be familiar with operating customer-facing payment services in a public parking environment. The named buyer is Wandsworth Council, with Richmond Council also participating. The scope is relevant to providers of cashless parking platforms, parking payment technology and associated operational services that can support multiple parking locations and public users across two London boroughs.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the councils have stated an intention to procure, but have not issued an invitation to tender. They are carrying out preliminary market engagement and seeking responses to questions in the SMTE document, with responses expected by 28 September 2026. The councils expect the next notice to be published on 1 July 2027. The current indicative contract period is 1 July 2028 to 30 June 2033, with a possible extension to 30 June 2035 and renewal included. The indicative value is £4.2 million excluding VAT, or £5.04 million including VAT; these figures and the term are expressly subject to change. There is one planned lot, assessed as suitable for SMEs.

The proposed service should suit suppliers that provide cashless parking payment systems or operate parking payment services for councils, particularly those able to support both on-street and off-street locations across two London boroughs. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating a reliable customer payment journey, the ability to manage a distributed network of designated parking locations, and the operational capacity to support public users at scale. Experience delivering parking services or related public-sector payment technology would be commercially relevant. The councils have identified the planned lot as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist providers and established SMEs should monitor the procurement and consider how their platform and service model could meet the eventual requirements. It is not yet open for bids.
