## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has successfully completed a procurement process to establish a cashless parking solution, appointing National Parking Platform Limited as the supplier. This process, with an award dated 16th February 2026, falls under the category of Software package and information systems, specifically targeting goods procurement. The contract, valued at £305,375, serves the Perth & Kinross Council area in Scotland (region UKM77). The procurement stage is marked as complete, and it utilised a negotiated procedure without the publication of a contract notice, driven by technical reasons as only one supplier was feasible for this solution.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in mobile payment systems and software solutions, particularly those offering innovative cashless parking services. Businesses able to integrate or interact with the National Parking Platform stand to benefit, expanding their reach within local government sectors. The unique procurement method, involving the National Parking Platform, allows councils to bypass traditional tender processes, simplifying entry for suitable suppliers who can deliver specialised services. Such opportunities are particularly advantageous for larger firms with the capacity to scale services across various councils, strengthening their position in the UK public sector market.

## Notice

The contract will be put in place to obtain a cashless parking solution for Perth & Kinross Council customers to pay for parking through the use of a mobile phone.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The purpose of the proposed contract is to appoint the National Parking Platform to administer our cashless parking solution. Our cashless parking solution is required for customers to pay for their parking through means of a mobile phone app. This is a critical service as if our ticket machine infrastructure fails there is still an option for customers to pay for parking which prevents us losing income. Additional information: The current situation in the market is that the National Parking Platform removes the need for councils to carry out a tender process to appoint a cashless parking provider. Instead, council can join the National Parking Platform (NPP) and access all cashless parking providers. This allows the customer to choose who they use to pay for their parking.

### Procurement Information

There is only one known Supplier to offer this service. It is the intention to enter into a contract with National Parking Platform.
