## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has concluded a procurement process aimed at acquiring a cashless parking solution to serve its customers. The contract, titled "PKC13697 Cashless Parking Provider," falls under the general public services industry category and is to be implemented throughout the Perth & Kinross Council area. The procurement process is currently in the award stage with an active contract status, having been signed on 16th February 2026. The process was executed through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition due to technical limitations, with the contract being awarded to National Parking Platform Limited. The contract is valued at £305,375 and exemplifies a direct award to a supplier due to a lack of alternative vendors capable of delivering the required service.

This tender presents significant business growth potential, particularly for technology firms specialising in cashless payment solutions and mobile applications. Businesses involved in parking management software, mobile app development, and digital payment platforms could find new opportunities through collaboration or competition in ancillary services. The project's scope focuses on providing a reliable alternative to traditional ticketing systems, ensuring continuous revenue flow even if conventional infrastructure fails. As such, companies offering innovative digital solutions or those looking to expand their portfolio in public sector digital transformation projects would be well-suited to engage with similar future tenders. By joining the National Parking Platform, Perth & Kinross Council enables its customers to select among various cashless payment providers, fostering a competitive market environment.

## 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.. 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.
