## Description
The National Parking Platform (NPP) aggregates parking service providers and facilitates the use by consumers of a wide range of payment providers when parking at locations operated by Birmingham City Council. The platform enables motorists to pay for parking using their preferred parking application and provides a common interface between Birmingham City Council and participating parking payment providers. Under the agreement, the National Parking Platform Limited provides access to and operation of the National Parking Platform, associated integration services and ongoing platform support. The contract provides for reciprocal consideration of £1 between the parties with no other fees payable by either party under the agreement. The National Parking Platform Limited is currently the only organisation operating the National Parking Platform and is the recipient of intellectual property and associated assets developed through the Department for Transport's National Parking Platform programme.
