## Summary

East Hertfordshire District Council has completed a procurement process for a National Parking Platform service, targeting the services industry category. Situated in Hertford, UK, the council utilised a direct procurement method under the 'Below threshold - without competition' guidelines to contract NATIONAL PARKING PLATFORM LIMITED. The platform aggregates service providers to facilitate consumer interaction with car park services in East Hertfordshire. This partnership, formalised through an award valued at £120,000 dated 1st December 2025, will commence on 16th January 2026 and is set to last potentially until 2036, contingent upon annual renewals. The services offered encompass a range of classifications, including parking and financial transaction services, aimed explicitly at enhancing transport service efficiencies.

This tender process presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for IT service providers and tech companies specialising in smart city solutions, who could potentially augment the platform's capabilities through integrated solutions or supplementary services. Given the direct method and the specificity of the required services, businesses well-versed in handling government contracts and providing niche tech-driven solutions would find this opportunity particularly appealing. The ongoing development of parking and service aggregation technology signifies a thriving market space, ripe for companies seeking to partner with public authorities to deliver innovative transport solutions.

## Notice

NPP aggregates service providers and facilitates the use by consumers of a wide range of service providers to park at a car park operated by the contracting authority, and the advertising of facilities and availability information in that authority's area. Expected cost to the authority is PS10,000 per annum however the contract length is undetermined. The NPP is the only supplier which is currently able to supply the critical service of aggregating service providers so as to enable users of a parking operator's facilities, in this case East Hertfordshire District Council, to pay for parking with a wide range of parking apps. NPP ltd is to be the recipient of a grant by the Department for Transport ("DfT") of the intellectual property and other assets necessary to operate the NPP (which DfT had commissioned and developed). No other supplier will benefit from that grant and no other supplier has undertaken the work necessary to develop a similar platform independently of DfT
