## Summary

Lichfield District Council has completed a procurement process titled "Car Parking Machines PSP" to secure a payment service provider for car parking machines. The contract was awarded through a limited competition method, focusing on financial and insurance services within the sub-central government public authority category. This process involved a key supplier, FIRST MERCHANT PROCESSING (UK) LIMITED, and covers services across the UKG region. The procurement was initiated as a tender and has now reached the award stage. The contract is active, having commenced on 1st May 2026 and set to conclude on 31st July 2027, with the contract signing date being 20th April 2026. The total contract value amounts to £45,000 gross, with it being below the threshold for broader competitive requirements.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of financial and insurance services, particularly those specialising in payment solutions for public infrastructure. While the contract has been awarded to a large firm, smaller enterprises in the financial technology sector could find similar upcoming tenders beneficial for growth. Businesses familiar with local government procurement and offering competitive services related to transaction processing could aim to engage in future opportunities of this nature to expand their business in public sector collaborations.
