Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the Ministry of Defence's acquisition of a Public Sector Card (PSC) solution under the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6248. The contract, classified under the banking services category, involves services to be delivered across the United Kingdom. This process has reached the award stage, with Barclays Bank PLC being the appointed supplier.
