## Summary

Clarion Housing Group Limited procured a cashless parking payment service for its repairs operatives. The application enables operatives to pay car park owners when visiting Clarion properties to carry out repairs, allowing them to park at the locations needed to transport tools and materials directly to residents’ homes. The service covers parking locations across the United Kingdom, with particular operational importance in London. This is a specialist parking payment service rather than a general repairs or property-maintenance contract. The requirement is shaped by the car parks and payment platforms designated by their operators or local authorities, so access to the relevant locations is central to delivering the service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to RingGo Limited by direct award. Clarion’s stated justification was that RingGo was the only supplier able to provide access to the required parking locations, with no reasonable alternatives for those sites; parking further away was considered operationally impractical. The award is for services, with a gross value of £400,000. The contract period runs from 11 October 2026 to 10 October 2028. The recorded award status is pending. The process comprised one lot. The award date is recorded as 28 September 2026. The direct award was made under the Procurement Act 2023, Schedule 5, paragraph 6, on grounds of absence of competition for technical reasons.

For suppliers assessing similar work for Clarion, credibility depends on being able to provide cashless payment access at the specific car parks used by repairs operatives, rather than simply offering a parking app or broad geographic coverage. The winning supplier was selected because it was designated for a significant number of the relevant locations and no reasonable substitute was available. A competitor would need demonstrable coverage of the parking sites chosen by local authorities and parking operators, including locations in London, and a practical way to support operatives who must take tools and materials directly to repair sites. The buyer’s rationale also indicates that alternative parking locations could undermine productivity and create health and safety concerns. This is a focused requirement for established parking-payment network access, not a general digital services opportunity.

## Notice

An application to facilitate payment to car park owners for use of car parks. The service is used by Clarion's repairs operatives when attending Clarion properties to carry out repairs.

### Procurement Information

In accordance with Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023, Paragraph 6, there is an absence of competition for technical reasons and there are no reasonable alternatives, as such only RingGo can supply the required services. This Direct Award is compliant on the basis that RingGo is the sole provider of cashless parking payment services for a significant number of the car parks (or parking locations) used by Clarion's repairs operatives when attending residents' homes. There is no reasonable substitute available for these locations, as parking payment arrangements are determined by the relevant parking operator or local authority and RingGo is the designated payment platform. This is particularly prevalent in London where parking is an issue. The use of alternative car parks (or parking locations) is not operationally feasible due to the requirement for operatives to transport tools and materials directly to site. Parking further away would create operational inefficiencies, reduce productivity and create potential health and safety risks. RingGo forms part of the EasyPark Group, whose portfolio includes several major parking payment providers operating across the UK. This limits the availability of independent providers that can offer equivalent parking access. At the time the contract was awarded, RingGo was identified as the only supplier able to provide access to the required car parks (or parking locations) used by Clarion's repairs operatives. As a result, Clarion determined that the conditions for a Direct Award under Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023 were met and subsequently entered into the contract with RingGo.
