Purpose

The Cabinet Member approved the decision
to: 
 
 
 
1.    
Join the National Parking Platform (NPP) to give parking customers
the choice of which cashless parking provider they use to pay for
their parking by either phone or app.
2.    
Enter a contract with the parking providers (currently Pay by
Phone, RingGo (EasyPark), APCOA Connect and
JustPark) for an initial period of 2 years with an
option to automatically extend, after the initial period, for
successive periods of 12 months for the purpose of receiving
payments from the parking providers, made by Peterborough City
Council’s parking customers.  The annual
value of the overall contracts is anticipated to be £24,000
per year, being 2.5% of the transaction. 
However, this cannot be broken down per provider because it is the
motorist who chooses which provider to use to pay for their parking
in a Council car park.
3.    
Enter into contracts with further parking providers as and when
they join the NPP for a term to coincide with the contract period
stated at paragraph 2 above.
