## Summary

The West Northamptonshire Council has completed its procurement process titled "West Northamptonshire Parking Strategy," classified under the parking services industry category (CPV code: 63712400). This procurement aimed at maintaining the card payment system for parking machines, involves a contract awarded to 3C Payment UK Ltd. with a total estimated value of £60,000. The contract period runs from 1st April 2021 to 31st March 2029. The process utilised the "Other - Waiver" procurement method, primarily due to the lack of available alternative payment service providers. The procurement stage stands at the award phase, with the tender having been initially closed by 2nd December 2015. The buying organisation, West Northamptonshire Council, is based in Northampton, England, and spearheaded this significant public service contract.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that provide innovative payment solutions or related services, particularly those with expertise in integrating payment systems into existing infrastructure. The contract history signifies potential for continuity and expansion into other services related to municipal infrastructure management. SMEs can particularly benefit from such contracts due to their flexibility and capacity to innovate within niche markets. This procurement is ideally suited for firms capable of delivering robust and adaptable payment services, providing them with a stable and potentially long-term engagement with a major local authority.

## Notice

Planet transact the card payments from the car park machines and were to only payment service provider available on the Metric machines so as we have amended some equipment to S&B we have kept the same payment service provider as we now have 2 types of equipment We hold a contract which was issued by Planet to us for this service so it was nothing that was procured by the Council as there were no other PsP options available
