## Summary

North Devon District Council, a sub-central government public authority, has completed the award stage of a procurement process for their project titled "NDC0109-26 - National Parking Platform". The project is aimed at providing digital parking payment services for the council's car parks, allowing payment through any participating platform. The Council awarded the contract to NATIONAL PARKING PLATFORM LIMITED, an SME based in Haywards Heath. The procurement method used was a direct award, justified by the supplier's unique capability to aggregate various parking payment services into a single platform. The contract, valued gross at £687,012, is set to commence on 12th September 2026 and has a potential duration of up to 10 years, through an initial two-year term followed by annual renewals.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs involved in digital payment technology and related services. As North Devon District Council sought a supplier with a unique technical function, businesses that specialise in integrating multiple service providers into a cohesive platform stand to benefit most. This includes firms with innovations in software development, collaboration with parking service operators, and those capable of expanding technical solutions to meet diverse needs in public services. By participating in such procurement processes, businesses can enhance their portfolio and market presence within the United Kingdom's local government sector.

## Notice

North Devon Council (NDC) intends to enter into a contract with the National Parking Platform (NPP) for the provision of digital parking payment services for NDC car parks. The NPP will replace the current arrangements which only allow payment through one parking payment service. NPP enables customers to pay for parking via any participating platform.

### Procurement Information

The conditions for Direct Award are satisfied because NPP is the only supplier able to provide the required service of enabling users to pay for parking via a wide range of parking applications through its technical function of aggregating multiple parking payment service providers into a single payment platform. No alternative supplier has the technology or co-operation of individual parking operators to provide the same service and the platform IP and assets were developed by the DfT and transferred specifically for the operation of the NPP.
