## Summary

The procurement process involves Stevenage Borough Council as the buying organisation, located in Stevenage, United Kingdom. The title of the contract is "National Parking Platform" and falls under the services industry category, specifically parking services, within the region UKH23. This contract has been awarded at the procurement stage with the award date being 11th November 2025. The procurement method utilised was direct, described as below threshold without competition. The contract period commences on 1st January 2026 and extends until 31st December 2035, with the option for annual renewals at the council's discretion.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, especially for companies specialising in parking services and integrated digital solutions. The award to NATIONAL PARKING PLATFORM LIMITED, an SME, underscores the potential for small to medium enterprises to secure contracts outside typical competitive tendering, particularly when they hold unique capabilities or assets, such as the Department for Transport's intellectual property necessary for the National Parking Platform. Businesses capable of developing platforms that can integrate with various service providers while offering a wide array of digital payment solutions would be well-positioned to compete for similar opportunities. The initiative represents a substantial long-term venture with a total contract value of £100,000 annually, exclusive of VAT.

## 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 Stevenage Borough 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
