Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Newham contracted for a fully cashless parking service. Drivers use the provider’s mobile app to pay for parking sessions in authorised spaces, covering both on-street parking and car parks. The service is intended to let drivers make payments by phone rather than cash. The requirement is a parking service, rather than the purchase of parking equipment or construction works. Delivery is in Newham, London, across the authorised parking spaces and car parks covered by the service. This is a local authority requirement for a phone-based payment solution used by people parking in the borough.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to PayByPhone Limited. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and is valued at £900,000. The stated contract duration is three years, with an option to terminate after year one and/or year two. The buyer used a direct award through the ESPO Parking Management Solutions framework; the process was conducted without prior publication of a competition. Price was the stated award criterion. The procurement was structured as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled while the award and contract are recorded as active. The available outcome information therefore identifies PayByPhone Limited as the selected supplier and records an active contract.

This award indicates demand from Newham for a managed, fully cashless parking payment service spanning both on-street spaces and car parks. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need a functioning driver-facing app that supports payment for parking sessions in authorised locations, together with the ability to serve different parking settings across a borough. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a framework call-off route and to demonstrate a price-competitive offer, since price was the stated evaluation basis. The contract was awarded to PayByPhone Limited, showing that an app-based parking payment provider was selected for this requirement. The opportunity is most relevant to providers with an established cashless parking solution, rather than general software or payment suppliers without parking-service capability.
