## Summary

Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council has completed the procurement process via a direct award from the ESPO 509 Framework, Lot 1, for the pay-and-display parking solutions project under the reference "Project # OPEN2026143". The procurement, focusing on system maintenance services, includes the provision, maintenance, and management of pay-and-display parking machines that support card and cash payments, as well as integrated back-office software for operational oversight. The contract, worth £160,000, commenced on 1st October 2025 and is set to end on 30th September 2027. The services will be delivered in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was executed using a selective method, call-off from a framework agreement, formalising existing arrangements with Metric Group Ltd as the supplier.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in system maintenance services, particularly those experienced in providing parking solutions and associated back-office software. Although the procurement method was selective, implying some limitations for smaller enterprises and VCSEs, it offers a potential for companies ready to partner or subcontract to gain a foothold in the North East region. Large enterprises with the capability to manage extensive maintenance and software integration tasks would find this contract an ideal fit, providing a platform for business growth through collaboration with local government bodies like Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council.

## Notice

This contract covers the provision, maintenance, and management of physical pay-and-display parking machines that accept card and cash payments. It also includes the supply of integrated back-office software to support operational oversight, financial reporting, and performance monitoring. We have been operating with Metric, who provide our machines and back office solutions without contract in recent years. This contract formalises our existing arrangements for pay-and-display parking infrastructure and enables the procurement of new machines to replace aging stock. It supports an asset management approach aligned with our commitment, outlined in recent Cabinet reports, to maintain and modernise our parking estate. The contract has been awarded via Direct Award via the ESPO 509 FW, Lot 1.
