UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is seeking a service provider to manage car parks on council housing land in Leicester. The concession covers issuing parking permits and enforcing parking regulations, with the aim of reducing parking by non-residents so that council housing residents can find spaces. This is a car park management service, including the administration of permits and enforcement activity across the council housing car park estate. The requirement is classed as a service and is suitable for delivery by a specialist parking operator, enforcement company or organisation with experience of managing resident parking schemes. The work is for the Council’s housing land car parks rather than general city-centre or commercial car parks, so suppliers should be able to operate within residential settings and manage the interests of permit holders and other road users.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a concession contract with one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 8 October 2026 at 12:00; electronic submission was allowed. The initial contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with renewal options of 12 months plus a further 12 months, allowing the contract to run until 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £823,250 excluding VAT and £987,900 including VAT. Bids are evaluated on price at 60% and quality at 40%. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and uses a single lot covering the council housing land car park management service.

This opportunity suits parking management businesses able to run residential permit schemes and enforce parking controls on behalf of a local authority. Relevant capability includes issuing and administering permits, checking vehicle entitlement, identifying non-resident parking and carrying out proportionate enforcement in council housing car parks. Suppliers should be able to provide reliable operational coverage across multiple residential locations, maintain accurate permit and enforcement records, and communicate effectively with residents and the council. Experience managing parking for public-sector, housing or residential clients would be directly relevant, particularly where the service must protect resident access rather than maximise general parking income. The requirement is explicitly identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established specialist operators and capable regional providers may be well placed to compete. The 40% quality assessment means the proposed service model and delivery arrangements will matter alongside price.
