The procurement falls under the services category and involves the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and maintenance of various parking management solutions such as Pay & Display Solutions and Civil Enforcement Systems. The procurement has been planned with an estimated value of £75,000,000. Located in Leicester, the buying organisation recently published a pipeline notice, with the procurement currently in the planning stage. Key dates include a response deadline for preliminary market engagement extended until 29 May 2026, and the procurement framework is expected to commence on 10 May 2027, continuing until 9 May 2029, with a possible extension until 9 May 2031. Further communication regarding this framework is anticipated on 4 September 2026. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in car park management solutions and related services, offering a robust platform for SMEs to compete given the framework's suitability for such enterprises. Companies with capabilities in providing integrated parking solutions will find this opportunity particularly appealing, as ESPO aims to establish a comprehensive framework. Suppliers have the chance to engage in the preliminary market engagement process, potentially influencing procurement strategies to include factors like social value and carbon reduction plans. This proactive engagement can provide businesses with a strong foothold in the competitive landscape, leading to potential growth and expansion within the UK market. ## Notice Please note, this is a Pipeline notice only for ESPO contracts that are forecast to be re-procured or new procurement projects that are expected to be undertaken. However, in this instance interested suppliers may also wish to view the linked UK2: Preliminary market engagement notice that has already been published (Published 23 March 2026) at the time this Pipeline notice was published - see https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026134-2026 For all current ESPO opportunities, please also visit https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ For details of ESPO Frameworks, please visit https://www.espo.org/frameworks.html This Pipeline notice is being published to alert the supplier market that ESPO expects to establish a national framework covering the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and maintenance of a range of parking management solutions (e.g., Pay & Display Solutions, Pay on Foot Solutions, Cashless Parking (Mobile) Solutions and Civil Enforcement Systems). ### Planning Information The aims of the engagement are as follows: • To identify potential suppliers in the market; • To obtain feedback on ESPO's proposed procurement methodology; • To determine whether localised Social Value can and/or will be offered provided to framework users; • To determine whether the market is prepared for carbon reduction plans to be included as a condition of participation for the procurement; • To understand the market's capacity to meet the framework requirements; • To determine whether there have been any changes or developments in the market since ESPO last went out to tender; • To identify any potential risks in the market. Engagement is being undertaken via a Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire hosted on the EastMidsTenders eProcurement Portal (www.eastmidstenders.org). The deadline for responding to the RFI has been extended to 17:00 (5pm) on 29 May 2026. Suppliers wishing to participate in the RFI MUST first express an interest as follows: (a) Go to https://www.eastmidstenders.org/; (b) Register (if not already registered on ProContract); (c) Search for opportunity '509_27' (via "View Opportunities" from the EastMidsTenders Portal); d) Express an interest. Suppliers can access and respond to the RFI questionnaire in the Messages section of the eProcurement Portal (via the Activity dashboard once an expression of interest has been registered). Any questions or clarifications should similarly be submitted to ESPO as a message on the eProcurement Portal. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042894-2026 | | Notice type | UK1 - Pipeline Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 4 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 May 2027 - 9 May 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £62,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL, TRADING AS ESPO | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE19 1ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Enderby | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 34 - Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 63 - Supporting and auxiliary transport services; travel agencies services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 34926000 - Car park control equipment - 38730000 - Parking meters - 63712400 - Parking services - 98351000 - Car park management services ## Release History - 11 May 2026 at 10:37 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042894-2026 - 7 May 2026 at 11:37 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041877-2026 - 23 Mar 2026 at 10:52 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026134-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/042894-2026 11th May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041877-2026 7th May 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026134-2026 23rd March 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ - https://www.espo.org/ - https://www.espo.org/frameworks.html - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
