Summary of the contracting process

King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council procured planned and reactive maintenance for its portfolio of car park pay-and-display machines. The service covers cleaning, hardwire inspections and checks, power-supply checks, and reactive maintenance across all machines. The requirement is a services contract for repair and maintenance of car-park control equipment and associated parking services. Delivery is for the council’s car-parking portfolio in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk area. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected supplier is Metric Group Ltd, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Wiltshire. The requirement concerns operational maintenance of payment and parking equipment rather than construction, installation or general facilities management.

This procurement is complete and has resulted in an active award and contract to Metric Group Ltd. The contract value is £282,547, and it was signed on 7 September 2026. The award covers the single recorded requirement, although that lot is also marked as cancelled in the procurement data. The council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, awarding through the ESPO 209-23 contract. The stated rationale was that the procurement fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. The award criterion was price. The contract includes an option for a series of extensions of up to an additional 36 months after the initial term. One bid was recorded.

This procurement shows established demand from the council for specialist servicing of pay-and-display and car-park control equipment. A credible future supplier would need to maintain a portfolio of parking machines, provide planned preventive maintenance and respond to faults through a reactive service. Relevant operational capability includes equipment cleaning, hardwire inspection, electrical and power-supply checks, fault diagnosis and repair. Experience of parking-payment equipment and the ability to support machines across the council’s area would be directly relevant. The previous route was an ESPO 209-23 contract, so suppliers targeting similar work should understand how that arrangement is accessed and whether they can participate through it. Price was the sole recorded award criterion, making competitive cost control important alongside dependable service delivery.
