Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is seeking a provider to manage car parks on council housing land in Leicester. The service covers issuing parking permits and enforcing parking rules, with the aim of reducing parking by non-residents so that residents can find spaces. This is a car park management service (CPV 98351000), procured as a concession. The stated delivery location is Leicester, and the opportunity concerns a single lot covering the council housing land car parks.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open competition, with electronic submission allowed. The clarification deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00 and the bid deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 30 November 2031. The estimated value is £424,092.49 excluding VAT (£508,910.99 including VAT). Bids are evaluated on price (60%) and quality (40%). The council amended the tender, extending the clarification and submission deadlines and uploading updated pricing and proposal documents, along with updated estimated-revenue information.

This requirement suits car park operators able to manage permits and enforce parking controls across council housing land, while balancing residents’ parking needs against unauthorised use by non-residents. The buyer marks the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, so it is not limited to large suppliers. Providers should be able to deliver the ongoing operational service and compete on both quality and price, with price carrying the larger evaluation share. The concession structure makes this relevant to businesses experienced in managing parking arrangements where permit issuing and enforcement are central to the service. The work is delivered in Leicester and covers a single lot; the potential renewals call for capacity to sustain delivery beyond the initial contract term.
