## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has awarded a contract for the procurement of parking ticket issuing machines. The contract, identified as PKC12910, involves the purchase, installation, and maintenance of between 150 and 200 parking meters across the Perth & Kinross area, along with a back-office system to manage financial and usage data. The procurement process was extremely specific due to technical requirements, leading to a limited procurement method without prior publication. The contract, worth £1,310,000, was signed on 18 December 2024, and the successful supplier is Flowbird Smart City UK Limited. The initial announcement was made on 14 January 2025, following the completion of the award stage.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in parking solutions, installation services, and back-office system management. Companies with technical expertise in designing and maintaining parking infrastructure would find this contract rewarding, especially given the potential for a two-year extension focused on maintenance. While competition was limited due to specific technical needs, it underscores the importance of niche market capabilities. Large-scale suppliers, particularly those experienced with regional or local authorities and complex technical projects, are well-suited to compete for similar tenders.
