Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney bought Response Master Nexus, software for its Parking Services penalty charge notice (PCN) disputes officers. The system helps officers prepare responses to drivers who challenge or make formal representations against traffic and parking penalty notices. This is a software and IT services requirement, covering the application used to support the response process. Delivery is for Hackney, London. The requirement concerns a specific operational tool for handling parking and traffic enforcement challenges, rather than general-purpose software or a broad IT support service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Hackney made a direct award below the threshold, without competition. Infoshare+ Ltd was selected. The award date is not stated; the contract was signed on 20 February 2026. Its stated period runs from 1 March to 1 October 2026, with an extension option of 12 months, to a maximum end date of 30 September 2027. The contract value is £49,250 excluding VAT and £59,100 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the software requirement. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide software that helps local authority parking teams manage challenges and representations against traffic and parking penalty notices, particularly the preparation of responses by disputes officers. Relevant strengths would include experience delivering and supporting operational software for public-sector parking or enforcement teams, and an ability to fit the tool to officers’ response workflows. The award demonstrates demand for a focused software service rather than a general IT transformation. Infoshare+ Ltd, identified as an SME, won this single-lot requirement through a direct award without competition, so the process does not demonstrate that the buyer tested competing offers or published formal evaluation criteria.
