## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council is preparing a procurement for parking machines and app-based payment services. The stated requirement is for between 40 and 60 machines, with car park management services identified as the relevant work category. The purpose of the planned market engagement is to discuss a future opportunity with suppliers. The buying organisation is Wokingham Borough Council, and the council’s address is in Wokingham. The available description does not identify specific car parks or other delivery sites, so the stated location for the procurement is Wokingham rather than a more detailed list of sites.

The process is at planning stage: the council has expressed an intention to procure and is conducting market engagement, not inviting tenders. It expects to use one lot. Suppliers are being asked to complete market engagement questionnaires by 14 October 2026; this is an engagement date, not a bid deadline. The stated engagement period runs from 23 September to 14 October 2026. No procurement procedure, award method, estimated contract value or contract duration is set out. The council’s stated objective is to discuss the future requirement for parking machines and app payment with the market before the procurement proceeds.

This may suit suppliers able to provide parking machines alongside app-based payment, or firms offering integrated parking equipment and payment solutions. The scale indicated is a deployment of 40 to 60 machines, so suppliers should be prepared to discuss delivery and support across a multi-machine requirement. The planned engagement offers relevant suppliers a chance to explain their products, service models and approach to connecting machine and app payments, and to help the council shape its future requirement through the questionnaire. The council has not stated specific technical standards, accreditations, staffing requirements or past-experience thresholds. Businesses with experience in car park management services and the supply or operation of parking payment systems are best placed to assess fit and contribute to the market discussion. This is preparation for a future procurement, not a bid opportunity now.
