Why no open competition
Single Suppliers Technical Reasons
Published justification

The conditions for Direct Award are satisfied because NPP is the only supplier able to provide the required service of enabling users to pay for parking via a wide range of parking applications through its technical function of aggregating multiple parking payment service providers into a single payment platform. No alternative supplier has the technology or co-operation of individual parking operators to provide the same service and the platform IP and assets were developed by the DfT and transferred specifically for the operation of the NPP.
