Summary of the contracting process

Lancaster City Council procured a pay-and-display parking provider through the National Parking Platform. The requirement is a parking service, covering the provision of a platform or service for motorists to pay for pay-and-display parking. The buying organisation is Lancaster City Council, a sub-central public authority. The service is associated with Lancaster, where the council is based and where its parking operations are managed. This is a services opportunity rather than a supply of parking equipment or construction works. The classification for the requirement is CPV 63712400, parking services. The selected provider is the National Parking Platform, an SME based in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Lancaster City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The National Parking Platform was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Its value is £162,000 excluding VAT, or £194,400 including VAT. The contract is below threshold. The award covers parking services supplied through the National Parking Platform and is linked to pay-and-display parking provision. This was not a competitive tender, so no comparative evaluation basis or bid scoring criteria are recorded for the award.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this procurement shows Lancaster City Council requires an operational pay-and-display parking payment service delivered through a parking platform. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant parking-service capability and support the council’s use of a platform for motorists’ payments. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large infrastructure provider. Businesses active in parking payment platforms, pay-and-display services or closely integrated parking operations can use this contract as evidence of the council’s purchasing route and service need. Experience delivering reliable public-sector parking services would be relevant when demonstrating suitability for a later requirement.
