Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust procured 50 car parking spaces for its use. The requirement is for parking provision, classified as a car park management service, supplied by Q-Park Ltd. The Trust is the buying organisation. This is a defined capacity requirement for staff or other Trust users needing access to parking; the procurement description does not identify a particular car park or delivery address. The contract therefore represents a purchase of parking spaces rather than a wider parking-management programme or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under a procurement waiver. Q-Park Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 17 September 2027. Its value is £40,150.50 excluding VAT and £48,180.60 including VAT. The requirement was arranged as one lot. No award criteria or comparative evaluation basis are recorded; the supplier was selected through the non-competitive route.

For parking operators, this award demonstrates demand from the Trust for a block of 50 car parking spaces over a fixed-term arrangement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to control or reliably provide sufficient nearby parking capacity and be able to allocate spaces for the Trust’s users for the required period. The selected supplier, Q-Park Ltd, is a large parking operator, indicating that established operators with access to sizeable parking facilities are relevant competitors. The original route was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not show how the Trust would assess competing offers in a future procurement. Operators should be able to explain their available capacity and the practical arrangements for providing the spaces.
