Decision

To agree to enter into a 4 year contract to use The National Parking Platform (NPP) from 1 April 2026.

Reasons for the decision

The National Parking Platform allows multiple apps to be used by drivers to pay for parking, making it easier for customers to pay. Drivers can choose the app they want to use.

Currently the service is provided purely by RingGo. This contract expires at the end of March 2026 and cannot be extended further.

Alternative options considered

·         Carrying on with RingGo – not possible due to procurement regulations; or

·         Using NPP.
