APCOA Gains ESPO Approval

ESPO Approval

Following a competitive tender process, APCOA is delighted to have been successful in re-securing a position on the ESPO purchasing framework for ‘Parking Management Solutions’ from May 2023.

With ever-increasing financial pressure on public sector organisations, purchasing frameworks provide confidence that their approved suppliers meet service and commercial standards to deliver maximum value. The ESPO framework gives customers the flexibility to purchase anything from a single payment kiosk to a complete parking management solution, knowing that pre-agreed terms and conditions underpin all orders.

APCOA has been awarded a place on the framework under the following Lots:

  • Lot 1 – Pay & Display Parking Solutions
  • Lot 2 – Pay on Foot Parking Solutions
  • Lot 3 – Cashless Parking (Mobile) Solutions

ESPO allows all UK-based public sector organisations quick and efficient access to APCOA’s market-leading parking solutions. Our ongoing investment in technology and digital capability continues to deliver innovative ways to improve the parking experience for customers.

Kim Challis, Regional Managing Director for APCOA UK&I said: “As a long-term approved supplier on ESPO’s ‘Parking Management Solutions’ framework, APCOA has plenty of experience in helping public sector organisations gain maximum benefit from the purchasing process, and I am really pleased we have been successful again.”

Across the UK, APCOA works with multiple public sector organisations including 26 local authorities, 13 NHS Trusts, and a range of providers in the education sector.
