The procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on parking enforcement, and follows an open and competitive flexible procedure. The current stage of the procurement is at the contract amendment phase as of 20 May 2026, with previous stages including award completion on 24 April 2026. The contract, initially signed on 26 March 2026, will last until 7 June 2031, with potential extensions up to five additional years. This procurement is connected to the enforcement of on-street parking and loading services across the Transport for London Road Network, designed to improve safety, reduce congestion, and enhance bus reliability, with an overall contract value of approximately £54.7 million GBP. This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies equipped to offer comprehensive on-street enforcement services, including patrol deployment and the management of parking and traffic violations. Firms with experience in using integrated enforcement technology and maintaining compliance with legislative requirements will find this tender especially suited to their capabilities. Large-scale suppliers with the capability to manage and support substantial urban transport networks, like MARSTON (HOLDINGS) LIMITED, who was awarded the contract, are well-positioned to contribute to this initiative. Interested applicants should be able to supply both the technological infrastructure and skilled bodily enforcement to successfully meet TfL’s requirements and key performance indicators, promoting regulatory compliance and operational efficiency across London’s transport routes. ## Notice Contract Details Notice This Contract Details Notice is published in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 to notify the market that a contract has been awarded for the provision of on-street parking and loading enforcement services on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN).

This is a valuable chance to engage with us early, gain insight into our requirements, and contribute your expertise. The engagement process consists of three key steps: 1. Registering Interest - Suppliers who wish to participate should express their interest by emailing MichaelWilliams1@tfl.gov.uk . The deadline for registering interest is Friday 14th March 2025. 2. Information Sharing - Once the registration window closes, we will issue a concise, one-page requirements document to all interested suppliers. This will outline key details of the procurement and may include specific questions to help us understand market capabilities and potential approaches. 3. Follow-Up 1:1s - Based on the responses received, we will identify suppliers who align with the requirement, which includes provision of workforce for on-street parking enforcement patrols. The supplier must have experience of providing on-street parking enforcement services in a metropolitan area. We are not interested in a technology-only solution which does not provide on-street parking enforcement patrols. Up to three suppliers will be invited to a 1:1 one-hour MS Teams meeting planned to take place between Monday 17th to Friday 28th March 2025. The discussions will provide an opportunity for TfL to explore the market in greater depth, discuss your responses to TfL's questions, and consider the approach to overall market. Please note that generic feedback on the 1:1s will be issued to all interested suppliers. We are exploring various options including a single contract or multiple contracts covering separate areas of London. Summary We encourage all interested suppliers, regardless of size, to take part in this process. Your insights and expertise will be invaluable in shaping our approach. If you have any questions about the process, please don't hesitate to get in touch with MichaelWilliams1@tfl.gov.uk. We look forward to hearing from you. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046323-2026 | | Notice type | UK10 - Contract Change Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 4 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | 2 Jun 2025 | | Award date | 23 Dec 2025 | | Contract period | 18 May 2026 - 7 Jun 2031 | | Recurrence | 2035-05-01 | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £71,000,000 | | Lots value | £71,000,000 | | Awards value | £45,575,940 | | Contracts value | £45,575,940 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR LONDON | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E20 1JN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Stratford Olympic Park | | Westminster constituency | Stratford and Bow | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | MARSTON (HOLDINGS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98351110 - Parking enforcement services ## Release History - 20 May 2026 at 11:32 - ContractAmendment - UK10 - Contract Change Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046323-2026 - 24 Apr 2026 at 19:50 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037795-2026 - 23 Dec 2025 at 11:04 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085727-2025 - 22 Jul 2025 at 14:57 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042121-2025 - 23 May 2025 at 13:26 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026510-2025 - 23 May 2025 at 13:25 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026507-2025 - 23 May 2025 at 11:52 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026263-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 11:42 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019070-2025 - 4 Mar 2025 at 15:29 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007896-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046323-2026 20th May 2026 - Contract change notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/037795-2026 24th April 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/085727-2025 23rd December 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042121-2025 22nd July 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026510-2025 23rd May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026507-2025 23rd May 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026263-2025 23rd May 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019070-2025 6th May 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/007896-2025 4th March 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-15279 Contract - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-16427 ## Notice URLs - http://www.apcoa.co.uk - http://www.marstonholdings.co.uk - https://service.ariba.com/Supplier.aw - https://support.ariba.com/Adapt/Ariba_Network_Supplier_Training - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
